This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 12th International Conference on the Theory and Application of Diagrams, Diagrams 2021, held virtually in September 2021.The 16 full papers and 25 short papers presented together with 16 posters were carefully reviewed and selected from 94 submissions. The papers are organized in the following topical sections: design of concrete diagrams; theory of diagrams; diagrams and mathematics; diagrams and logic; new representation systems; analysis of diagrams; diagrams and computation; cognitive analysis; diagrams as structural tools; formal diagrams; and understanding thought processes.10 chapters are available open access under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License via link.springer.com.

This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-conference proceedings of the 4th International Workshop on Graph Structures for Knowledge Representation and Reasoning, GKR 2015, held in Buenos Aires, Argentina, in July 2015, associated with IJCAI 2015, the 24th International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence. The 9 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 10 submissions. The papers feature current research involved in the development and application of graph-based knowledge representation formalisms and reasoning techniques. They address the following topics: argumentation; conceptual graphs; RDF; and representations of constraint satisfaction problems.

This book constitutes the proceedings of the 22th International Conference on Conceptual Structures, ICCS 2016, held in Annecy, France, in July 2016.The 14 full papers and 5 short papers presented in this volume were carefully reviewed and selected from 40 submissions. They are organized around the following topical sections: time representation; graphs and networks; formal concept analysis; ontologies and linked data.

This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-conference proceedings of the 5th International Workshop on Graph Structures for Knowledge Representation and Reasoning, GKR 2017, held in Melbourne, VIC, Australia, in August 2017, associated with IJCAI 2017, the 26th International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence. The 7 revised full papers presented were reviewed and selected from 9 submissions. The contributions  address various issues for knowledge representation and reasoning and the common graph-theoretic background allows to bridge the gap between the different communities.

Diagrams is an international and interdisciplinary conference series, covering all aspects of research on the theory and application of diagrams. Recent technological advances have enabled the large-scale adoption of d- grams in a diverse range of areas. Increasingly sophisticated visual represen- tions are emerging and, to enable e?ective communication, insight is required into how diagrams are used and when they are appropriate for use. The per- sive, everyday use of diagrams for communicating information and ideas serves to illustrate the importance of providing a sound understanding of the role that diagrams can, and do, play. Research in the ?eld of diagrams aims to improve our understanding of the role of diagrams, sketches and other visualizations in communication, computation, cognition, creative thought, and problem solving. These concerns have triggered a surge of interest in the study of diagrams. The study of diagrammatic communication as a whole must be pursued as an interdisciplinary endeavour.Diagrams 2008 was the ?fth event in this conf- ence series, which was launched in Edinburghduring September 2000.Diagrams attracts a large number of researchers from virtually all related ?elds, placing the conference as a major international event in the area. Diagrams is the only conference that provides a united forum for all areas that are concerned with the study of diagrams: for example, architecture, - ti?cial intelligence, cartography, cognitive science, computer science, education, graphicdesign,historyofscience,human-computerinteraction,linguistics,logic, mathematics,philosophy,psychology,andsoftwaremodelling.Weseeissuesfrom all of these ?elds discussed in the papers collected in the present volume.
