Diagrams is an international and interdisciplinary conference series,
covering all aspects of research on the theory and application of diagrams.

Diagrams is the only conference series that provides a united forum for all
areas that are concerned with the study of diagrams: for example,
architecture, artificial intelligence, cartography, cognitive science,
computer science, education, graphic design, history of science,
human-computer interaction, linguistics, logic, mathematics, philosophy,
psychology, and software modelling. Diagrams attracts a large number of
researchers from virtually all related fields mentioned, placing the
conference as a major international event in the area.

Diagrams 2010 will consist of sessions including presentations of refereed
papers, posters, and also tutorial and workshop sessions. For the first time
in history of Diagrams we will organize workshops and postgraduate student
sessions. We invite submissions of:

- 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 for
full details) 

that focus on any aspect of diagrams research.

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,
