> Diagrams is an international and interdisciplinary conference series
> on the theory and application of diagrams from any field of enquiry.
>
> From early history, diagrams have been pervasive in human
> communication. Recent advances in multimedia technology have
> introduced increasingly sophisticated visual representations into
> everyday life. The study of diagrammatic communication as a whole must
> be pursued as an interdisciplinary endeavor. Research in the field of
> diagrams aims to improve our understanding of the role of diagrams and
> sketches in communication, cognition, creative thought, and
> problem-solving. These concerns have triggered a surge of interest in
> the study of diagrammatic notations, especially in academic
> disciplines dealing with cognition, computation and communication.
>
> Diagrams 2006 is the fourth event in this conference series, which was
> launched in Edinburgh in September 2000, and has since emerged as the
> major international conference on this topic. Diagrams is the only
> conference that provides a unified forum for all areas that are
> concerned with the study of diagrams: architecture, artificial
> intelligence, cartography, cognitive science, computer science,
> education, graphic design, history of science, human-computer
> interaction, linguistics, philosophy and logic, and psychology, to
> name but a few.
>
> We especially solicit papers in the area of Diagrams and Education. We
> anticipate invited speakers and at least one session devoted to this
> important area of diagram use. We construe the topic broadly to
> include: uses of diagrams in all subject areas and phases of education
> from primary schools to professional development, and the topic of
> education for diagrammatic literacy.
>
> We invite submissions of full research papers (15pp approx.), extended
> abstracts (3pp approx.), tutorial proposals, and annotated diagrams
> (see below). The tutorials will provide introductions to diagram
> research in various disciplines in order to foster a lively
> interdisciplinary exchange. Information regarding invited speakers can
> be found on the conference website.
>
> Diagrams 2006 will inaugurate a new feature: the collection of a
> corpus of diagrams from researchers in the field. This corpus will
> contain diagrams of interest which are annotated in terms of their
> communicative content, aesthetic or design features, features of the
> underlying representational system, subject domain of origin, etc. It
> is anticipated that the corpus will be web-based and that researchers
> will be able to interactively contribute annotated examples in order
> to develop the collection as a community resource. The corpus will be
> exhibited at Diagrams 2006 and we expect that it will also be
> published by CSLI Press.
>
> All submissions will be fully peer reviewed and accepted papers and
> abstracts will be published in the conference proceedings, which will
> be included in Springer's Lecture Notes in Computer Science
> series. Full details of the preparation of submissions can be found on
> the conference web site at http://www.diagrams-conference.org
>
> Topics of interest include but are not limited to:
>
> diagram understanding by humans or machines
> reasoning with diagrammatic representations
> educational uses of diagrams
> education for diagrammatic literacy
> diagram usage in scientific discovery
> history of diagrammatic languages and notations
> formalization of diagrammatic notations
> novel uses of diagrammatic notations
