            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.
