Diagrams 2002

"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.
