Diagr ams is an international and interdisciplinary conf erence series,\n covering all aspects of re search on the theory and application of\n d iagrams.\n

Recent technologica l advances have enabled the large-scale adoption o f\n diagrams in a diverse range of areas. I ncreasingly sophisticated visual\n represen tations are emerging and, to enable effective comm unication,\n insight is required into how d iagrams are used and when they are\n approp riate for use. The pervasive, everyday use of diag rams for\n communicating information and id eas serves to illustrate the importance\n o f providing a sound understanding of the role that diagrams can, and\n do, play. Research in the field of diagrams aims to improve our\n understanding of the role of diagrams, sketches a nd other visualisations\n in communication, computation, cognition, creative thought, and pro blem\n solving. These concerns have trigger ed a surge of interest in the study\n of di agrams.\n

The study of diagram matic communication as a whole must be pursued as an\n interdisciplinary endeavour.
