                                                   Final Call for Papers

                                    15th International Symposium on 
Graph Drawing  
                                      September 23 - 26, 2007, Sydney, 
Australia

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, and networking. Researchers and 
practitioners working on theoretical and practical aspects of
graph drawing are welcome to participate.



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
*    Geometric computing
*    Software systems for graph visualization
*    Topology and planarity
*    Graph theory and optimization on graphs
*    Interfaces for interacting with graphs
*    Task analysis to guide graph drawing


INVITED SPEAKERS
*    Brendan McKay (ANU, Australia)
*    Norishige Chiba (Iwate University, Japan)


CALL FOR PAPERS AND POSTERS
Authors are invited to submit papers describing original research of 
theoretical or practical significance to graph drawing. Papers
must be labeled as either theory or application, and long or short. 
Papers should not exceed 12 pages for long papers and 6 pages
for short paper 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 of posters in graph drawing and related areas are solicited. 
The poster session will provide a forum for the
communication of late-breaking research results (which may appear 
elsewhere) to the graph drawing community. A two-page
abstract of accepted posters will appear in a poster proceedings 
distributed to conference attendees. Researchers interested in
presenting a poster should prepare two-page description of their 
proposed poster. Accepted posters should be presented in A1 size
colored printing (594mm X 841mm).

Submissions deviating from these guidelines or from the submission 
deadline below risk rejection without consideration of their
merits. Submission of substantially similar papers to other conferences 
with published proceedings or simultaneous submissions
are not allowed.


INSTRUCTIONS FOR AUTHORS
Each submission must include an indication of its type 
(theory/application, long/short) and contact information for the primary
author. Only electronic submissions are allowed.


GRAPH DRAWING CONTEST
Following the tradition of previous conferences, a graph drawing contest 
will be held. Details on the contest will be provided on
the conference web site.



IMPORTANT DATES
*    Submissions of papers:  May 31, 2007 (Thursday, 11:00pm GMT)
*    Notification of acceptance:  July 15, 2007
*    Graph Drawing Contest Submissions:  September 20, 2007
*    Symposium on Graph Drawing:  September 23-26, 2007


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 conference.


SPECIAL ISSUES
Selected papers will be invited to be published in either a special 
issue of Algorithmica or a special issue of JGAA (Journal of
Graph Algorithms and Applications).


LOCATION
The 15th International Symposium on Graph Drawing will be held at 
Swiss-Grand Hotel on Bondi Beach, Sydney.
