--------------------------------------------------------------------

Euler diagrams represent relationships between sets, including
intersection, containment, and disjointness. These diagrams have become the
foundations of various visual languages and have notably facilitated  the
modelling of, and logical reasoning about, complex systems. Over the years,
they have been extensively used in areas such as biosciences, business,
criminology and national security to intuitively visualize relationships
and relative cardinalities of sets.  This widespread adoption has allowed
analysis of complex collections of data.

The workshop will cover all aspects of Euler diagram research, including,
but not limited to:

- theoretical advances:
     o drawability,
     o layouts,
     o logic,
     o reasoning,

- software support:
     o diagram generation,
     o automated reasoning,
     o data exploration,

- real-world applications:
     o system modelling,
     o information visualization,
     o education,

- cognition and perceptual principles:
     o readability,
     o aesthetics,
     o evaluation including comparison to other representations.

Recently, there have been significant advances in all of the above areas.
 This workshop of peer-reviewed submissions will afford the growing Euler
diagrams community the opportunity to present and discuss new research, and
share expertise. It is envisaged that this will stimulate collaborations on
current and future research needs. This will be the third Euler diagrams
workshop (after two successful workshops in 2004 and 2005) and will again
bring together researchers with diverse backgrounds, from both academic and
industry including: mathematicians, computer scientists, artificial
intelligence experts, information designers, visualization experts,
human-computer interaction experts and users from various application
areas.


SUBMISSIONS

We solicit submission of:

- full papers (15 pages), consisting of original research and surveys,

- short papers (7 pages), consisting of systems descriptions, software
demonstrations, and position statements, as well as original research
contributions.

The formatting style is LNCS. The necessary style files are available at
http://www.springer.com/computer/lncs?SGWID=0-164-6-793341-0.
Submissions are now open! Papers should be submitted via EasyChair (
https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=ed2012).


PROCEEDINGS

A preprint of the proceedings will be available at the workshop.
The proceedings will be published by CEUR, and will be available after the
workshop.
In addition, authors of best papers will be invited to submit an extended
version of their paper to a special issue of the Journal of Visual
Languages and Computing called Visualization and Reasoning with Euler
Diagrams.


IMPORTANT DATES

For both full and short papers:

Abstract submission (optional): Friday, March 30, 2012
Paper submission: Friday, April 6, 2012
Notification: Friday, May 4, 2012
Early registration: Friday, May 11, 2012
Camera ready copy: Friday, May 25, 2012
Workshop: Monday, July 2, 2012
