Visualization and Reasoning with Euler Diagrams

Special issue of the Journal of Visual Languages and Computing


Abstract submission deadline: Friday, September 7, 2012
Paper submission deadline: Friday, October 5, 2012



Euler diagrams represent relationships between sets, including intersection, containment, and disjointness. These diagrams have become the foundations of various visual languages and have notably facilitated the modelling of, and logical reasoning about, complex systems. Over the years, they have been extensively used in areas such as biosciences, business, criminology and national security to intuitively visualize relationships and relative cardinalities of sets. This widespread adoption has allowed analysis of complex collections of data.

The special issue will cover all aspects of Euler diagram research, including, but not limited to:

  • theoretical advances
    • drawability
    • layouts
    • logic
    • reasoning


  • software support
    • diagram generation
    • automated reasoning
    • data exploration


  • real-world applications
    • system modelling
    • information visualization
    • education


  • cognition and perceptual principles
    • readability
    • aesthetics
    • evaluation including comparisons to other representations


All papers will be subject to full peer-review in line with standard JVLC practice.
