28th July to 1st August
Swinburne University, Melbourne, Australia

* CALL FOR PAPERS *

Diagrams is an international interdisciplinary conference series,
covering all aspects of research on the theory and application of
diagrams. In 2014 it will be held at Swinburne University, Melbourne,
Australia, from the 28th of July 2014 to the 1st of August 2014.
Diagrams 2014 will be co-located with the IEEE Symposium on Visual
Languages and Human-Centric Computing.

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, biology, 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 almost all these related fields,
positioning Diagrams as the major international event in the area.

Diagrams 2014 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

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,
