Submission

Paper and poster submissions are handled via the GD 2013 submission page at EasyChair. Accepted papers and abstracts of accepted posters will appear in the conference proceedings, published by Springer in the series Lecture Notes in Computer Science. Selected papers will be invited for submission to a special issue of the Journal of Graph Algorithms and Applications.

Papers. Submitted papers must describe original research of theoretical or practical significance to graph drawing. Each paper must be submitted in one of the two following tracks:

Track 1: Combinatorial and algorithmic aspects

This track is mainly devoted to fundamental graph drawing advances, such as combinatorial aspects and algorithm design. The range of topics for this track includes (but is not limited to) the following:

• Design and experimentation of graph drawing algorithms
• Theory of geometric graphs
• Geometric computing
• Planarity and topological graph theory
• Optimization on graphs

Track 2: Visualization systems and interfaces

This track is mainly devoted to practical aspects of graph drawing, such as the development of graph visu- alization systems and interfaces in different application areas. The range of topics for this track includes (but is not limited to) the following:

• Visualization of graphs and networks in application areas (e.g., social sciences, biology, geography, software engineering, circuit design, business intelligence)
• Software systems for graph visualization
• Interfaces for interacting with graphs
• Benchmarks and experimental analysis for graph visualization systems and user interfaces
• Cognitive studies on graph drawing readability and user interaction
