Graph Drawing is concerned with the geometric representation of graphs and networks and is motivated by those applications where it is crucial to visualize structural information as graphs.
Since graph drawing methods form the algorithmic core of network visualization, bridging the gap between theoretical advances and implemented solutions is an important aspect.

The International Symposium on Graph Drawing is the main annual event in this area. 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

visualization of networks from application areas such as the life sciences, social sciences, geography, engineering, business intelligence, or communications
software systems for graph visualization
interfaces for interacting with graphs
graph drawing algorithms
geometric graphs
planarity and topological graph theory
graph theory and optimization on graphs

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 submissions should be fully substantiated, including full proofs, appropriate experimental data, or system descriptions. If this information will not fit within the page limits, authors may include a clearly marked appendix that will be read at the discretion of the reviewers.

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.

Accepted submissions will be published in the conference proceedings, which will be included 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.

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