ED 2014 - The 4th International Workshop on Euler Diagrams

Euler diagrams represent relationships between sets, including intersection, containment, and disjointness. These diagrams have become the foundations of various visual languages and have notably facilitated the modelling of, and logical reasoning about, complex systems. Over the years, they have been extensively used in areas such as biosciences, business, criminology and national security to intuitively visualize relationships and relative cardinalities of sets. This widespread adoption has allowed analysis of complex collections of data.
HIGHLIGHTS
Our keynote speaker is Professor Atsushi Shimojima. More details.
Proceedings will be published by CEUR.
We will invite authors of the best papers to submit extended versions of their work to a special issue of the Journal of Logic, Language and Information.
The workshop will cover all aspects of Euler diagram research, including, but not limited to:
Theoretical Advances: ?drawability, layouts, logic, reasoning,
Software Support: diagram generation, automated reasoning, data exploration,
Real-World Applications: system modelling, information visualization, education,
Cognition and Perceptual Principles: readability, aesthetics and evaluation, including comparison to other representations.
Recently, there have been significant advances in all of the above areas. This workshop of peer-reviewed submissions will afford the growing Euler diagrams community the opportunity to present and discuss new research, and share multi-interdisciplinary expertise. We envisage that this will stimulate collaborations on current and future research needs. This will be the second time the workshop has run as part of the Diagrams conference series and the fourth Euler diagrams workshop (after successful workshops in 2012, 2004 and 2005). The workshop will bring together researchers with diverse backgrounds, from both academia and industry including: mathematicians, computer scientists, artificial intelligence experts, information designers, visualization experts, human-computer interaction experts and users from various application areas.
