Located on the grounds of the 18th-century Historic Area Visitor Center, the conference is also conveniently located to shopping, restaurants, golf and more, all within walking distance. Colonial Williamsburg is located 150 miles south of Washington, D.C. on Interstate 64. Richmond International Airport is less than 50 minutes away -- rental car and shuttle service is available. Train and bus service are available from Washington, D.C. For more information on Colonial Williamsburg, visit: http://www.history.org/ * Scope: The symposium is a forum for researchers and practitioners working on all aspects of graph visualization and representation. The range of topics considered in graph drawing includes graph algorithms, graph theory, geometry, topology, visual languages, visual perception, information visualization, computer-human interaction, and graphic design. Much research in graph drawing is motivated by applications to systems for viewing and interacting with graphs. The interaction between theoretical advances and implemented solutions is an important part of the graph-drawing field. * Call for Papers and Demos: Authors are invited to submit papers describing original research of theoretical or practical significance to graph drawing. System demonstrations are also solicited. Descriptions of system demos should include illustrative screen dumps and an explanation of the system's functionality. Regular papers and demo descriptions should be labeled as either long or short; long papers will be assigned 12 pages in the conference proceedings, and short papers 6 pages. * Graph Drawing Contest: Following the tradition of previous conferences, a graph drawing contest will be held. Details will appear on the website later this Spring. * Submissions: Submitted papers and demo descriptions must be received by May 24, 2000. Each submission should include an indication of its type (paper or demo description) and length (regular or short), and contact information for the primary author. Electronic submissions in standard PostScript should be sent by e-mail. Alternatively, 16 hard copies of the submission can be mailed to the program chair. All submissions received will be acknowledged promptly by e-mail. * Proceedings: Accepted papers will be published in the conference proceedings, which will appear in the Springer-Verlag series Lecture Notes in Computer Science. Camera-ready and electronic copies of accepted papers are due at the conference. Instructions for Authors will be available after the paper notification deadline. All participants will receive a copy of the proceedings as part of their registration. * Program Committee: ------------------ Therese Biedl, University of Waterloo Peter Eades, University of Newcastle Wendy Feng, Tom Sawyer Software Ashim Garg, SUNY Buffalo Michael Goodrich, Johns Hopkins Michael Kaufmann, University of Tubingen Jan Kratochvil, Charles University Giuseppe Liotta, University of Perugia Joe Marks (chair), MERL Stephen North, AT&T Research Kathy Ryall, University of Virginia Kozo Sugiyama, JAIST Roberto Tamassia, Brown University Robin Thomas, Georgia Tech.
