"Diagrams" is an international and interdisciplinary conference
series on the theory and application of diagrams in any scientific
field of enquiry. From early human history, diagrams have been
pervasive in human communication. The recent rise of multimedia
technology that has turned advanced visual communication into an
integral part of our everyday reality makes a better understanding of
the role of diagrams and sketches in communication, cognition,
creative thought, and problem-solving a necessity. These developments
have triggered a new surge of interest in the study of diagrammatic
notations, which is driven by several different scientific
disciplines concerned with cognition, computation and communication.
Diagrams 2006 will consist of technical sessions with invited keynote
addresses and presentations of refereed papers, posters and tutorials.
