Technology-Enhanced Diagrams Research

It is an understatement to say that technology has enabled methodological innovation in diagram
and spatial reasoning research. New technologies offer opportunities for recording data through
video screen recordings; spatial navigation in real and virtual realities, visual attention monitoring,
diagram activity on graphics tablets, and recording body position and gestures via position sensors
and accelerometers. Whilst the rich data that these techniques yield offer exciting potential for
research innovation, researchers face new methodological challenges due to its sheer volume and
the challenge of triangulating data from multi-sources.
 
The workshop will consist of tutorial presentations and paper submissions. Experienced diagrams 
researchers will share their knowledge and experiences of diagrams research using innovative
technologies including haptic devices, interactive surfaces, eye trackers and virtual reality systems.
Interactive sessions on the use of computer-based tools for synchronizing and analyzing multi-source
data will be offered. Workshop participants will have an opportunity to explore and observe the
methods in action and discuss their potential for methodological innovation.

CALL FOR PAPERS IS NOW CLOSED

We call for paper submissions from colleagues on data capture and analysis topics including (but not limited to):

• Visual attention monitoring, e.g. eye tracking

• Haptic devices and feedback systems

• Interactive, multi-touch surface devices

• Rich (multi-source) data analysis

• Geospatial technologies

• Gesture recognition, body position sensing and measurement

• Graphical input recognition and parsing

• Mobile devices

Paper submissions may be in either of the following forms:

  • full papers, 15 pages - consisting of original research and surveys
  • short papers, 7 pages - consisting of systems descriptions, software demonstrations, and position statements.
Papers will be peer-reviewed by members of the workshop committee (plus some invited members of
the Diagrams 2012 program committee).

The formatting style is LNCS. The necessary style files can be found here. 
Submissions are now open.

Please submit via EasyChair page for TEDR Workshop.
