=========================================================================== Call for Posters GD 2017 25th International Symposium on Graph Drawing and Network Visualization September 25-27, 2017 - Boston, MA, U.S.A. http://graphdrawing.org/gd2017 =========================================================================== 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 20 years. Its focus is on combinatorial and algorithmic aspects of graph drawing as well as the design of network visualization systems and interfaces. GD 2017 will take place September 25-27, 2017 at the Northeastern University in Boston, Massachusetts, USA. Researchers and practitioners working on any aspects of graph drawing and network visualization are invited to submit posters and to participate in the symposium. POSTER SUBMISSION INFORMATION ----------------------------- The submission of posters on graph drawing, network visualization, and related areas is 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 two pages in unmodified LNCS style -- no times package is allowed) that must be submitted together with the poster. Abstracts of accepted posters will appear in the conference proceedings (two pages). The maximum size for a poster is A0 (84.1 cm x 118.9 cm). The posters must be in portrait mode. Each submission will then consist of two pdf files (the two-page abstract and the poster) and must include names, email addresses and contact information of the contributors. Contributions must be submitted via EasyChair following the link provided on the conference web site. BEST POSTER AWARD ----------------- To recognize the effort of the participants in preparing and presenting their posters in a clear and elegant way, there will be a Best Poster Award voted on by the GD 2017 attendees.
