HCC: Doctoral Symposium at the Sixth International Conference on the Theory and Application of Diagrams

图表是范围非常广泛的开放式表示，包括草图、图纸、图形、图片、2D和3D几何模型、可视化和动画。从艺术到科学，从交流到教育，图表表现对人类生活和社会的许多方面都产生了重大影响。新兴的视觉分析科学专注于交互使用图形表示来支持人类解决问题，这只是需要研究图形表示和推理的一个典型例子。事实上，在(1)理解人类的图形推理，(2)理解图形表示用于人类之间的交流和协作，(3)开发自动图形推理的技术，以及(4)设计使用图形表示支持人类推理的交互环境方面，有必要取得变革性的进展。本项目为2010年8月11日至14日在俄勒冈州波特兰举行的第六届国际图形理论与应用会议的博士生研讨会提供支持。为期一天的博士研讨会的目标是为资深博士生以及最近从事研究的硕士和博士毕业生提供机会介绍他们的工作，并从该领域的知名研究人员那里获得反馈。一组专家将到场评论年轻的研究人员？在非正式和建设性的环境中发表演讲。

Diagrams are very wide-ranging and open-ended representations that include sketches, drawings, graphs, pictures, 2D and 3D geometric models, visualizations and animations. Diagrammatic representations significantly impact many aspects of human life and society ranging from art to science, from communication to education. The emerging science of visual analytics, which focuses on interactive use of diagrammatic representations for supporting human problem solving, is just one topical example of the need for studying diagrammatic representations and reasoning. In fact, there is a need for transformative advances in (1) understanding diagrammatic reasoning in humans, (2)understanding the use of diagrammatic representation for communication and collaboration among humans, (3) developing techniques for automated diagrammatic reasoning, and (4) designing interactive environments for use of diagrammatic representations for supporting human reasoning.This project provides support for the Doctoral Student Symposium at the Sixth International Conference on the Theory and Application of Diagrams in Portland Oregon on August 11-14, 2010. The goal of the 1-day Doctoral Symposium is to provide senior doctoral students as well as recent Master's and Doctoral graduates engaged in research with an opportunity to present their work and get feedback from established researchers in the field. A group of experts will be present to comment on the young researchers? presentations in an informal and constructive environment.
