[GDNET] Call for Bids for GD 2018

[Beppe Liotta]

The GD Steering Committee invites bids to host the International 
Symposium on Graph Drawing and Network Visualization,GD, to be held in 
September 2018.

Graph Drawing is concerned with the geometric representation of graphs 
and networks, the algorithmic methods, and the system design paradigms 
for visualizing them. It is motivated by applications where it is 
crucial to visually analyze and interact with relational data-sets.  
Examples of such application areas include social sciences, data 
science, Internet and Web computing, information systems, information 
security, computational biology, networking, VLSI circuit design, and 
software engineering.

The first informal edition of the Symposium on Graph Drawing was held in 
Marino, Italy, in 1992. Since then, the Symposium has become the 
flagship conference of the graph drawing community; it is a 3-day event 
typically held in September and it has formal proceedings where high 
quality papers are published every year.  A special issue of the Journal 
of Graph Algorithms and Applications that collects some of the best 
papers presented at the conference is also published every year.

The Symposium has two tracks: one track is devoted to fundamental graph 
drawing advances, such as combinatorial aspects and algorithm design; a 
second track is devoted to the practical aspects of graph drawing, such 
as the development of network visualization systems and interfaces in 
different application areas. See also http://www.graphdrawing.org/ for 
additional information about previous editions of the conference.

If you are interested in hosting the Symposium for year 2018, please 
follow the guidelines in the document attached to this e-mail. Do not 
hesitate to contact me, should you need any further details about this 
opportunity.

Best regards,

Giuseppe Liotta
