       Diagrams 2004: Third International Conference
         on Theory and Application of Diagrams

                 March 22-24, 2004
              Cambridge University, UK

"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. We need 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.

The study of diagrammatic communication as a whole must be pursued as
an interdisciplinary endeavor. "Diagrams 2004" is the third 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 [Reasoning with Diagrammatic Representations
(DR), US; Thinking with Diagrams (TWD), Europe; Theory of Visual
Languages (TVL), 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, philosophy and logic, and psychology, to
name a few.

Topics of interest include but are not limited to:

*  diagram understanding by humans or machines
*  reasoning with diagrammatic representations
*  diagram usage in scientific discovery|
*  history of diagrammatic languages and notations|
*  formalization of diagrammatic notations|
*  novel uses of diagrammatic notations|
*  design of diagrammatic notations
*  interactive graphical communication
* psychological issues pertaining to perception, comprehension, and
      production of diagrams
* computational models of reasoning with and interpretation of
diagrams
*  role of diagrams in applied areas such as visualization
*  spatial information and diagrams
*  usability issues concerning diagrams|
*  design with diagrams

"Diagrams 2004" 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.

Important Dates:
- ---------------

5  September: notice of intent to submit
12 September: deadline for regular research paper and tutorial
proposal submission
12 November: deadline for extended abstract for poster paper
submission
16 November: notification for tutorial proposals & full papers
