Abstract

Unlike today where the majority of diagrams are static, lifeless objects reflecting their origin in print media, the computer of the near future will provide more flexible visual computer interfaces in which diagrams adapt to their viewing context, support interactive exploration and provide semantics-based retrieval and adaptation. We provide an overview of the Adaptive Diagram Research Project whose aim is to provide a generic computational basis for this new type of diagrams.
