Euler diagrams represent relationships between sets, including intersection, containment, and disjointness. These diagrams have become the foundations of various visual languages and have notably facilitated  the modelling of, and logical reasoning about, complex systems. Over the years, they have been extensively used in areas such as biosciences, business, criminology and national security to intuitively visualize relationships and relative cardinalities of sets.  This widespread adoption has allowed analysis of complex collections of data.

IMPORTANT UPDATES
  • SUBMISSIONS ARE NOW OPEN!
     
  • The proceedings will be published by CEUR.
  • A special issue of the JVLC for extended best papers.
  • Early Registration date issued.
  • Registration details updated.
  • Venue and Accommodation details updated.
  • Program Committee updated.

The workshop will cover all aspects of Euler diagram research, including, but not limited to:

  • Theoretical Advances: 
          - drawability
          - layouts
          - logic
          - reasoning
  • Software Support:
          - diagram generation
          - automated reasoning
          - data exploration
  • Real-World Applications:
          - system modelling
          - information visualization
          - education
  • Cognition and Perceptual Principles:
          - readability
          - aesthetics
          - evaluation including comparison to other representations

Recently, there have been significant advances in all of the above areas.  This workshop of peer-reviewed submissions will afford the growing Euler diagrams community the opportunity to present and discuss new research, and share multi-interdisciplinary expertise. We envisage that this will stimulate collaborations on current and future research needs. This will be the third Euler diagrams workshop (after two successful workshops in 2004 and 2005) and will again bring together researchers with diverse backgrounds, from both academia and industry including: mathematicians, computer scientists, artificial intelligence experts, information designers, visualization experts, human-computer interaction experts and users from various application areas.


CALL FOR PAPERS

We solicit submissions on the topics mentioned above, in the following forms:

  • full papers (15 pages), consisting of:
          - original research
          - surveys 
  • short papers (7 pages), consisting of:
          - systems descriptions
          - software demonstrations
          - position statements
          - original research contributions

The formatting style is LNCS. The necessary style files can be found here. 
Submissions are now open. To submit, please do so via EasyChair.

PROCEEDINGS

A preprint of the proceedings will be available at the workshop.
The proceedings will be published by CEUR, and will be available after the workshop.

In addition, authors of best papers will be invited to submit an extended version of their paper to a special issue of the Journal of Visual Languages and Computing on Visualization and Reasoning with Euler Diagrams.

REGISTRATION

Attendees can register for the workshop only, but there will be a discount for those registering for both the workshop and main Diagrams conference.

Details will be available here.

 

VENUE AND ACCOMMODATION

The workshop and the main Diagrams conference will be held on the campus of the University of Kent in the ancient cathedral city of Canterbury in Kent, which is less than an hour from London by train.

Accommodation will be provided on campus with very flexible bookings. It will be possible to book accommodation for only the workshop date or any other specific dates during the week, with possible extensions before and after the main Diagrams conference.

Details are available here.
