They will take place at the main conference venue, Edinburgh Napier University in the UK. Tutorials are expected to address topics that are of interest to the Diagrams 2018 conference attendees. These include, but are not limited to, the following: * applications of diagrams, * computational models of reasoning with, and interpretation of, diagrams, * design of diagrammatic notations, * diagram understanding by humans or machines, * diagram aesthetics and layout, * educational uses of diagrams, * evaluation of diagrammatic notations, * graphical communication and literacy, * heterogeneous notations involving diagrams, * history of diagrammatic notations, * information visualization using diagrams, * nature of diagrams and diagramming, * novel technologies for diagram use, * philosophy of diagrams (see the Philosophy of Diagrams special call), * psychological issues pertaining to diagrams (see the Psychology of Diagrams special call), * reasoning with diagrams, * semiotics of diagrams, * software to support the use of diagrams, and * usability and human-computer interaction issues concerning diagrams. Tutorials differ from workshops in that they do not solicit contributions from attendees. However, attendees have previously particularly enjoyed tutorials that are interactive and spark debate.
