                 Call for Posters

                     GD 2021

        29th International Symposium on
    Graph Drawing and Network Visualization

    September 14-17, 2021 - Tuebingen, Germany
    https://algo.inf.uni-tuebingen.de/gd2021/

================================================================

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, or 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. Researchers and practitioners working on any aspects of graph drawing and network visualization are invited to contribute posters and to participate in the symposium and the graph drawing contest.

GD2021 will be held (hopefully) at Tuebingen from September 14 to 17, 2021 with a reception on the evening of September 14. A pre-conference PhD school is planned for September 13-14, 2021. In the event that a physical conference will not be possible, GD2021 will, like GD2020, be held virtually. Regardless of the format, we are committed to offering remote participation for both presenters and the audience.


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, excluding references, in LNCS style) that must be submitted together with the poster. Abstracts of accepted posters will appear in the conference proceedings (two pages+references). 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 at the web site
               https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=gd2021

Each poster must be presented at the conference by an author (barring unforeseen circumstances), otherwise the abstract will not be included in the proceedings. Should any visa/travel 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.

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 2021 attendees.
