Thinking with Diagrams: Is there a Science of Diagrams?
Workshop call for papers/participation.
University of Wales, Aberystwyth, UK.
21-22 August 1998
Diagrams are essential in most fields of human activity. There is
substantial interest in diagrams and their use in many academic
disciplines for the potential benefits they may confer on a wide range
of tasks. The extent and variety of research interest is witnessed by
recent books and conferences: Diagrammatic Reasoning: Cognitive and
Computational Perspectives. (Glasgow, Narayanan, & Chandrasekaran
(Eds.), 1995); Forms of Representation (Peterson (Ed.), 1996); two
AAAI symposia on reasoning with diagrammatic representations in 1992
and 1997; the Thinking with Diagrams Colloquium in 1996 and the 1997
TwD workshop.
Are we now in a position to claim that we have a science of
diagrams? That is, a science which takes the nature of diagrams and
their use as the central phenomena of interest. A science which is
attempting to understand how diagrams differ from other
representational systems and trying to develop principles for the
design of effective graphical representations. A science which
considers how diagrams communicate information and how they are used
to solve problems. If we have a science of diagrams it is certainly
constituted from multiple disciplines, including: cognitive science,
psychology, artificial intelligence, logic, mathematics, and others.
If there is a science of diagrams, then like other sciences,
there is an applications or "engineering" discipline that exists
alongside the science. Applications and engineering provide tests of
the theories and principles discovered by the science and extend the
scope of the phenomena to be studied by generating new uses of
diagrams, new media for presenting diagrams, or novel classes of
diagram. This applications and engineering side of the science of
diagrams also comprises multiple disciplines, including: education,
architecture, computer science, mathematics, human-computer
interaction, knowledge acquisition, graphic design, engineering,
history of science, statistics, medicine, biology, and others.
The theme of TwD98 will be - Is there a Science of Diagrams?
By providing a forum for the presentation and discussion of quality
research on diagrams and diagram use, we not only try to answer this
question, but more importantly attempt draw together the many
different approaches, theories and results that we have in the many
diverse disciplines that are concerned with diagrams. The question
provides a vehicle on which to attempt to integrate what is currently
a disparate and disordered set of activities into a more rational and
coherent programme of research. Is there any common core to the
activities which provides a basis for the claim that the TwD community
could constitute a science?
The TwD98 programme will include: (i) technical sessions for
the presentations of papers; (ii) invited talks on issues relevant to
the TwD community as a whole; (iii) a panel session on the theme of
TwD98.

*** Call for Papers ***
International Workshop on
Coordination Technologies for Information Systems
CTIS'98
(http:/www.ucy.ac.cy/ucy/cs/CTIS98.html)
in conjunction with the
9th International Conference on Database and Expert Systems
Applications
DEXA'98
to be held in Vienna, August 24-28, 1998
(http://www.ifs.tuwien.ac.at/dexa98/)
and co-located with the
22nd Annual International Computer Software and Applications
Conference
COMPSAC'98
to be held in Vienna, August 19-21, 1998
(http://compsac98.ifi.uni-klu.ac.at/compsac98/)
and the
15th IFIP World Computer Congress
IFIP'98
to be held in Vienna and Budapest, August 31 - September 4, 1998
(http://www.ocg.or.at/ifip98.html)
Workshop proceedings to be published by IEEE Computer Society Press
THEME
According to Thomas Malone and Kevin Crowston, coordination is the act
of managing interdependencies between activities. Some of the issues
to be explored in this area are developing approaches to analyse
coordination in different kinds of systems, designing coordination
tools and languages, and applying the notion of coordination to
distributed and parallel processing systems.
The purpose of this workshop is to bring together researchers and
practitioners who are using in one way or another the notion of
coordination in the development of information systems. Of particular
interest are papers highighting the interdisciplinary nature of
coordination and those describing "coordination-in-the-large"
activities.
Topics of interest include but are not limited to:
* Programming languages, tools and systems
* Software architectures
* Groupware
* CSCW
* Design patterns for coordination (coordination patterns)
* Workflow management
* Collaboration and cooperation environments
* Agent communication and coordination
* Mobile computing
* Internet and intranet technology
* Industrial applications and case studies (eg. the potential of
coordination in the development of the Information Society,
Electronic Commerce, etc.).
The papers must clearly show how the concept of coordination was used,
what were the benefits gained but also the problems encountered, if
any.
IMPORTANT DATES
* Submission deadline: 15 March 1998
* Notification of acceptance: 15 May 1998
* Camera-ready copies: 5 June 1998
SUBMISSION DETAILS
Authors are invited to submit research contributions representing
original, previously unpublished work. Submitted papers will be
carefully evaluated based on originality, significance, technical
soundness, and clarity of exposition. All papers will be refereed by

published by IEEE Computer Society Press as proceedings of the DEXA'98
workshops. All submitted papers MUST be formatted according to the
author guidelines provided by IEEE Computer Society Press and MUST NOT
be longer than FIVE pages.
