---------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Diagrams" is an international and interdisciplinary conference
series on the theory and application of diagrams in any scientific
field of enquiry. From early human history, diagrams have been
pervasive in human communication. The recent rise of multimedia
technology that has turned advanced visual communication into an
integral part of our everyday reality makes a better understanding
of the role of diagrams and sketches in communication, cognition,
creative thought, and problem-solving a necessity. These
developments have triggered a new surge of interest in the study of
diagrammatic notations, which is driven by several different
scientific disciplines concerned with cognition, computation and
communication.

The study of diagrammatic communication as a whole must be pursued
as an interdisciplinary endeavor. "Diagrams 2002" is the second
event in this conference series, which was successfully launched in
Edinburgh in September 2000. It attracts a large number of
researchers from virtually all academic fields that are studying the
nature of diagrammatic representations, their use in human
communication, and cognitive or computational mechanisms for
processing diagrams. By combining several earlier workshop and
symposia series that were held in the US and Europe, "Diagrams" has
emerged as a major international conference on this topic. It is the
only conference that provides a united 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, philosophical logic, and psychology, to
name a few.

Topics of interest include but are not limited to:
  - diagram understanding by humans or machines
  - computational models of reasoning with and interpretation of
    diagrams
  - psychological issues pertaining to perception, comprehension, and
    production of diagrams
  - reasoning with diagrammatic representations
  - history of diagrammatic languages and notations
  - formalization of diagrammatic notations
  - diagram usage in scientific discovery
  - usability issues concerning diagrams
  - novel uses of diagrammatic notations
  - role of diagrams in applied areas such as visualization

"Diagrams 2002" will consist of technical sessions with
presentations of refereed papers, posters and tutorial sessions. The
tutorials will provide introductions to diagram research in various
disciplines in order to foster a lively interdisciplinary exchange.

We invite submissions of tutorial proposals, full research papers
and extended abstracts of posters. All submissions will be fully
peer reviewed and accepted papers and posters will be published in
the conference proceedings. Further information and submission
details will be available from the conference web site:
