Call for papers

Diagrams is an international interdisciplinary conference series, covering all aspects of research on the theory and application of diagrams.

Diagrams is the only conference series that provides a united forum for all areas that are concerned with the study of diagrams, including architecture, artificial intelligence, 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 virtually all these related fields, positioning Diagrams as a major international event in the area.

Diagrams 2012 will include presentations of refereed papers, posters, tutorials, workshop sessions, and a graduate symposium. We invite submissions that focus on any aspect of diagrams research, as follows.

• long research papers (15 pages)
• short research papers (7 pages)
• posters (3 pages)
• tutorial proposals (2 pages; see the conference web page for full details)
• workshop proposals (2 pages; see the conference web page for full details)
• graduate symposium submissions (3 pages; see the conference web page for full details)

All submissions will be fully peer reviewed. The proceedings, which will include accepted long and short papers and posters, will be published by Springer in their Lecture Notes in Computer Science series, http://www.springer.com/lncs.

Full details on the preparation of submissions can be found on the conference web site http://www.diagrams-conference.org/2012/content/submission
