================================================================
Graph Drawing is concerned with the geometric representation of graphs
and constitutes the algorithmic core of Network Visualization. Graph
Drawing and Network Visualization are motivated by applications where it
is crucial to visually analyze and interact with relational datasets.
Examples of such application areas include data science, social
sciences, web computing, information systems, biology, geography,
business intelligence, information security, and software engineering.
GD has been the main annual event in this area for more than 25 years.
Its focus is on combinatorial and algorithmic aspects of graph drawing
as well as the design of network visualization systems and interfaces.
GD 2019 will take place September 17-20, 2019, at the Floret conference
center in Pruhonice near Prague, Czech Republic. Researchers and
practitioners working on any aspects of graph drawing and network
visualization are invited to contribute papers and posters, and to
participate in the symposium and the graph drawing contest
PAPERS
------
We invite authors to submit papers describing original research of
theoretical or practical significance to graph drawing and network
visualization. Regular papers must be submitted explicitly to one of two
distinct tracks described below. Papers submitted to one track will not
compete with papers submitted to the other track.
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):
* Design and analysis of graph drawing algorithms
* Geometric and topological graph theory
* Computational topology of graphs on surfaces
* Geometric network design and optimization
* Geometric computing
Track 2: Experimental, applied, and network visualization aspects
-----------------------------------------------------------------
This track is mainly devoted to the practical aspects of graph drawing,
such as the development of network visualization systems and interfaces
in different application areas. The range of topics for this track
includes (but is not limited to):
* Visualization of graphs and networks in real world applications,
including big data analysis
* Engineering of network visualization algorithms and systems
* Experimental results in graph theory and algorithms
* Benchmarks and experimental studies of network visualization systems
and user interfaces
* Cognitive studies on graph drawing readability and user interaction
* Interfaces and methods for interacting with graphs
Authors of applied papers will have the opportunity to show a demo of
their software/system during the poster session.
Short papers
------------
In addition to the above two tracks, there will be a separate category
for short papers, describing theoretical or applied contributions of
shorter length. Papers in this category will be assigned a shorter time
for presentation during the conference.
Submission format
-----------------
All submissions must be formatted using the LaTeX style file for the
conference series Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) provided by
Springer. The default margins and fonts must not be modified; in
particular, the use of packages such as times.sty is not allowed.
Submissions that do not comply with this format risk rejection without
consideration of their merits. The length of regular papers is limited
to 12 pages (excluding references), while the length of short papers is
limited to 6 pages (excluding references). The claims of the paper
should be fully substantiated. If this information does not fit within
the page limits, the authors should include it in a clearly marked
appendix, whose length is not constrained and which the reviewers may
read at their own discretion.
All submissions will be handled through EasyChair at the web site
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=gd2019
Posters & Contest
-----------------
Submissions of posters on graph drawing, network visualization, and
related areas are solicited. The poster session will provide a forum for
the communication of late-breaking research results (which may also
appear elsewhere) to the GD community. Authors of posters should prepare
an abstract (up to 2 pages in the LNCS style) that must be submitted
together with the poster itself.
Details about the traditional Graph Drawing Contest held at the
conference are provided on the contest web site.

PUBLICATION
-----------
All accepted papers (including the two-page poster abstracts) will
appear in the conference proceedings, published by Springer in the
Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) series. The LNCS proceedings
will be made freely accessible to the GD community upon publication and
openly accessible to anyone after four years.
Authors will be required to submit their accepted papers to the arXiv
repository, in order to provide immediate and unrestricted open access
to them. The self-archived arXiv papers shall consist of the LNCS
proceedings version (identical, except for possibly changed references
to the appendix resp. the arXiv version) plus an optional clearly marked
appendix. Subsequent submissions of revised versions of the paper to the
arXiv (known as arXiv "replacements") are allowed. Failure to comply
with these guidelines will impede the publication of the paper.
Each paper or poster must be presented at the conference by an author
(barring unforeseen circumstances), otherwise the paper will not be
included in the proceedings. Should any visa restriction prevent an
author from attending the conference and presenting a paper, he/she will
be given ways to participate and give the talk via electronic means.
Selected papers from both tracks will be invited for submission to a
special issue of the Journal of Graph Algorithms and Applications
(JGAA). The authors of two selected papers in Track 2 will be invited to
submit a substantially extended version of their work to IEEE
Transactions on Visualization and Computer Graphics (TVCG).
AWARDS
------
For each of the two tracks, the Program Committee of GD 2019 will give a
Best Paper Award. In addition, to recognize the effort of participants
to present their work and to prepare their posters in a clear and
elegant way, there will be a Best Presentation Award and a Best Poster
Award voted on by the GD 2019 attendees.
