encompasses: architecture, art, artificial intelligence, biology,
cartography, cognitive science, computer science, education, graphic
design, history of science, human-computer interaction, linguistics,
logic, mathematics, philosophy, psychology, and software modelling.
The conference attracts a large number of researchers from these
interrelated fields, positioning Diagrams as the major international

Tallinn is the capital of Estonia and a beautiful seaside city. It has a well
preserved medieval old town which is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Estonia’s vibrant cultural life, digital society and natural sites.
