============================================== Call for Participation GD 2020 28th International Symposium on Graph Drawing and Network Visualization September 15-18, 2020 Vancouver, Canada https://gd2020.cs.ubc.ca/ CORONAVIRUS UPDATE: GD 2020 will be organized as an online meeting. We plan to keep all the important dates of the conference as announced and to have free registration. ================================================ 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 2020 will take place September 15-18, 2020, at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver, Canada. 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.
