Diagrammatic Representation and Inference

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 11th International Conference on the Theory and Application of Diagrams, Diagrams 2020, held in Tallinn, Estonia, in August 2020.* The 20 full papers and 16 short papers presented together with 18 posters were carefully reviewed and selected from 82 submissions. The papers are organized in the following topical sections: diagrams in mathematics; diagram design, principles, and classification; reasoning with diagrams; Euler and Venn diagrams; empirical studies and cognition; logic and diagrams; and posters.

*The conference was held virtually due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The chapters 'Modality and Uncertainty in Data Visualization: A Corpus Approach to the Use of Connecting Lines,' 'On Effects of Changing Multi-Attribute Table Design on Decision Making: An Eye Tracking Study,' 'Truth Graph: A Novel Method for Minimizing Boolean Algebra Expressions by Using Graphs,' 'The DNA Framework of Visualization' and 'Visualizing Curricula' are available open access under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License via link.springer.com.
