CALL FOR PAPERS
===============================================================
Diagrams is an international 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, including 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. The
conference attracts a large number of researchers from virtually all these related fields, positioning
Diagrams as a major international event in the area.
Diagrams 2012 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 for full details)
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, http://www.springer.com/lncs.
Full details on the preparation of submissions can be found on the conference web site http://www.diagrams-conference.org/2012/content/submission
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
- applications of diagrams
- computational models of reasoning with, and interpretation of, diagrams
- design of diagrammatic notations
- diagram understanding by humans or machines
- diagram aesthetics and layout
- educational uses of diagrams
- evaluation of diagrammatic notations
- graphical communication
- heterogeneous notations involving diagrams
- history of diagrammatic notations
- information visualization using diagrams
- psychological issues pertaining to perception, comprehension or production of diagrams
- software to support the use of diagrams
- theoretical aspects of diagrams including, for example, classification and formalization
- usability and human-computer interaction issues concerning diagrams

I haven't had time to read it. I am suspicious of such studies but much more suspicious of the way conclusions
are reported. Thanks for taking the time and giving us a better view of it.
People tend to talk about "reading" and "learning" as singular things in reporting about studies of
effects on reading and/or learning. You have to define both for purposes of such a study. Unfortunately,
people want to apply any findings to every sort of reading and every sort of learning.

<snip interesting comments about statistical significance and distribution including the following>
> I'd say: it's better to avoid some really bad performances, at the expense

Then Caroline summed up my reaction perfectly:
> What I do know, is that this rather thoughtful and somewhat limited
> experiment has, as usual, become a blanket assertion in the media that
> badly-formatted things are easier to learn from. Which is manifest nonsense.
