Abstract
In this tutorial we will present the Openbox, a framework for constructing heterogeneous reasoning systems. Heterogeneous reasoning is reasoning involving multiple representations. A common example is using a map (diagram) together with an address (sentence) to plan a route from one point to another. This kind of reasoning may involve diagrams of multiple types, diagrams and sentences, and/or multiple instances of the same diagram type. Reasoning with sentences, or with a single diagram are special cases of the general heterogeneous setting.
