Our w orld is increasingly visual, and diagrams are an\n essential aspect of many of the fields that try to make sense of\n it. These include demo graphy, cartography, medical imaging,\n aviat ion, and so on. In particular, diagrammatic logic is\n gaining ground in logic and mathematics as an alternative to or\n when used in paral lel with symbolic logics, and recent years\n have seen the appearance of increasingly expressiv e diagrammatic\n systems.\n

The purpose of the workshop is manyfold. Firstl y, we want to\n gain deeper insights into the activities involved in reasoning\n with diag rammatic systems: how can a modern, highly-express ive\n diagrammatic logic help with inferentia l tasks in practice, such\n as those undertak en in the field of knowledge engineering? Our\n second purpose, closely related to the first, is cognition: the\n verbaliser-visualiser cog nitive style classification. Finally,\n our meeting will also focus on the topics of diagram a esthetics\n and visual complexity.\n
