Call for Papers
14th International Symposium on Graph Drawing
September 18-20, 2006, Karlsruhe, Germany
http://gd2006.org/
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. Bridging the gap between theoretical
advances
and implemented solutions is an important aspect of the conference. Indeed,
advances in graph drawing are a key factor in such technological areas
as web
computing, e-commerce, VLSI circuit design, information systems, software
engineering, computational cartography, visual interfaces, bioinformatics,
network analysis and networking. Researchers and practitioners working
on theoretical and practical aspects of
graph drawing are welcome to participate. Human performance studies
based on
perceptual and cognitive evaluations of graph drawings are encouraged.
SCOPE
The range of topics that are within the scope of the International
Symposium on
Graph Drawing includes (but is not limited to): * Visualization of
networks, Web maps, software engineering diagrams, database
schemas, chemical structures and molecules
* Graph algorithms
* Geometric graph theory and geometric computing
* Software systems for graph visualization
* Topology and planarity
* Graph theory and optimization on graphs
* Interfaces for interacting with graphs
* Empirical assessment of graph drawing systems
* Task analysis to guide graph drawing
INVITED SPEAKERS Oliver Deussen (Universität Konstanz)
Emo Welzl (ETH Zürich)
CALL FOR PAPERS, DEMOS, AND POSTERS
Authors are invited to submit papers describing original research and
surveys of
theoretical or practical significance to graph drawing. Demonstrations of
systems incorporating original and innovative research ideas are also
solicited.
A system demonstration should include illustrative screen dumps and a
description of the system's functionalities. Regular papers and demos
must be
labeled as either long or short; long papers will be assigned 12 pages
in the
conference proceedings, and short papers 6 pages.
Submissions of posters in graph drawing and related areas are also
solicited.
The purpose is to provide a forum for the communication of results
(which may
appear elsewhere) to the graph drawing community. A poster will be given
2 pages
in the conference proceedings. Submission of substantially similar
papers or
demos to GD 2006 and to other conferences with published proceedings is not
allowed.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR AUTHORS
Each submission must include an indication of its type (paper, demo
description,
or poster) and contact information for the primary author. For a paper or a
demo, an indication about whether it is a regular or a short submission
must
also be given. Only electronic submissions are allowed. Detailed submission
instructions will be provided on the conference web site.
The full extended abstract should not exceed 12 single-spaced pages in
LNCS-style. If the authors believe that more details are essential to
substantiate the main claims of the paper, they may include a clearly
marked
appendix that will be read at the discretion of the program committee.
Submissions deviating from these guidelines or from the submission deadline
below risk rejection without consideration of their merits.
GRAPH DRAWING CONTEST
Following the tradition of previous conferences, a graph drawing contest
will be
held. A 1,000 Euros prize will be awarded to the winner. Details on the
contest
will be provided on the conference web site.
IMPORTANT DATES
* Submissions of papers, demos, and posters: June 4, 2006
* Notification of acceptance: July 20, 2006
* Graph Drawing Contest Submissions: September 15, 2006
PROCEEDINGS
Accepted submissions will be published in the conference proceedings,
which will
be included in the Springer-Verlag series Lecture Notes in Computer
Science.
Final versions of accepted submissions are due at the conference.
