Graph Drawing 2011: call for papers

CALL FOR PAPERS: 19th International Symposium on Graph Drawing
     September 21-23, 2011, Eindhoven, the Netherlands

                  www.win.tue.nl/GD2011

Graph Drawing is concerned with the geometric representation of
graphs and networks, and algorithmic methods for drawing graphs.
It is motivated by applications in which it is crucial to visualize
structural information as graphs. Advances in graph drawing are
important in several technological areas such as Web computing,
e-commerce, VLSI circuit design, information systems, software
engineering, computational cartography, visual interfaces,
bioinformatics, and networking. Researchers and practitioners working
on any aspect of graph drawing are invited to contribute and
participate. The range of topics includes, but is not limited to:

- Graph drawing algorithms
- Visualization of networks in application areas
- Representation of graphs
- Geometric and topological graph theory
- Software systems for graph visualization
- Interfaces for interacting with graphs

Call for Papers: Authors are invited to submit papers describing
original research of theoretical or practical significance to graph
drawing, including demonstrations of software systems. Papers may
be either long (up to 12 pages) or short (up to 6 pages), using
single-spaced LNCS style. The claims made in the submissions should
be fully substantiated, including full proofs, appropriate
experimental data, or system descriptions. If this information will
not fit within the page limits, the authors may include a clearly
marked appendix that will be read at the discretion of the reviewers.

Paper submission deadline: June 6, 2011.

Accepted submissions will be published in the conference proceedings,
in the Lecture Notes in Computer Science series of Springer-Verlag.

Selected papers will be invited for submission to a special issue
of the Journal of Graph Algorithms and Applications.

Call for Posters: Submissions of posters on graph drawing and
related areas are also solicited. The poster session will provide
a forum for the communication of late-breaking research results
(which may also appear elsewhere) to the graph drawing community.
Posters should be accompanied by an abstract (up to 2 pages);
abstracts of accepted posters will be included in the conference
proceedings.

Graph Drawing Contest: Following the tradition of previous
conferences, a graph drawing contest will be held. Details about
the contest will be provided on the conference Web site.
