Diagram editors which are tailored to a specific diagram language typically support either syntax-directed editing or free-hand editing, i.e., the user is either restricted to a collection of predefined editing operations, or he is not restricted at all, but misses the convenience of such complex editing operations. This paper proposes a concept for incorporating both modes into one editor in o...

Diagrams that serve as a visual input facility for programming environments have to be translated into some kind of semantic description. This paper describes such a method which is based on a specification of the translation process. The translation process starts with a diagram, which is simply represented as a collection of atomic diagram components, and it ends up with some data structure a...

Graph theory has numerous application to problems in systems analysis, operations research, economics, and transportation. However, in many cases, some aspects of a graph-theoretic problem may be uncertain. For example, the vehicle travel time or vehicle capacity on a road network may not be known exactly. In such cases, it is natural to deal with the uncertainty using the methods of fuzzy sets...

When working with diagrams in visual environments like graphical diagram editors, diagrams have to be represented by an internal model. Graphs and hypergraphs are well-known concepts for such internal models. This paper shows how hypergraphs can be uniformly used for a wide range of different diagram types where hyperedges are used to represent diagram components as well as spatial relationship...

Sketching, i.e., drawing diagrams by hand and directly on the screen, is gaining popularity, as it is a comfortable and natural way to create and edit diagrams. Hand drawing is inherently imprecise, and often sloppy. As a consequence, when processing hand drawn diagrams with a computer, ambiguities arise: it is not always clear what part of the drawing is meant to represent what component. Reso...

DiaGen is a specification method, which is primarily based on a hypergraph grammar, and a tool that allows to automatically generate diagram editors from such a specification. Generated editors are free-hand editors, but with an automatic, constraint-based layout for correct diagrams. A hypergraph parser checks diagram correctness and makes it possible to translate diagrams into some user-defin...

Recently, graph neural networks have attracted great attention and achieved prominent performance in various research fields. Most of those algorithms assumed pairwise relationships objects interest. However, many real applications, the between are higher-order, beyond a formulation. To efficiently learn deep embeddings on high-order graph-structured data, we introduce two end-to-end trainable ...
