Welcome to Diagrams 2010!

Diagrams is an international and interdisciplinary conference series, covering all aspects of research on the theory and application of diagrams.

Diagrammatic representations are wide-ranging and open-ended, including sketches, drawings, charts, graphs, maps, geometric models, and other visualizations and animations. Diagrammatic representations significantly impact many aspects of human life and society ranging from art to design to science, from media to communication to education. The emerging science of visual analytics, which focuses on interactive use of diagrammatic representations for supporting human problem solving, is just one topical example of the need for studying diagrammatic representations and reasoning. In fact, there is a need for transformative advances in (1) understanding diagrammatic reasoning in humans, (2) understanding the use of diagrammatic representation for communication and collaboration among humans, (3) developing techniques for automated diagrammatic reasoning, and (4) designing interactive environments for use of diagrammatic representations for supporting human reasoning.

Co-location

Diagrams 2010 will be co-located with the 32nd Annual Meeting of the Cognitive Science Society (Cogsci-2010). This co-location will provide a lively and stimulating environment, enabling researchers from related communities to exchange ideas and more widely disseminate research results.
