The recent rise of multimedia technology has turned visual communication into an everyday reality
and made it necessary to achieve a better understanding of the role of diagrams and sketches
in communication and in creative thought and problem-solving.
Diagrammatic Representation and Reasoning is a wide-ranging, multidisciplinary overview of this area, covering relevant research in computer science, artificial intelligence, cognitive science and psychology.
Key topics include:
• Cognitive aspects of diagrammatic information
• Formal methods for computing with diagrams
• Applications of advanced diagrammatic systems
This book is a state-of-the-art survey that will be a valuable resource for researchers and students in the fields of cognitive science, artificial intelligence, human-computer interaction, and graphics and visualisation.
