 Please find hereunder a first call for papers for the 11th International
Symposium on Graph Drawing - GD2003.

     Important Dates:
     ----------------
     - Submissions of papers, demos, and posters: May 31, 2003
     - Notification of acceptances: July 15, 2003

 A preliminary version of the GD2003 poster can be downloaded at the
following URL: http://www.gd2003.org/poster.html

 This first call for papers and preliminary version of the poster list the
current sponsors of the Symposium. If your institution or company would
like to become a sponsor of GD2003, and have its name and logo on the
future posters and calls for papers, we invite you to visit
http://www.gd2003.org/

 A final version of the call for papers and of the poster (a hard copy in
large format) will be sent worldwide in March. If you can help us
publicize the symposium by distributing the poster, please send us an
email request for the number of extra copies you would like to receive.

  Graph Drawing is concerned with the geometric representation of graphs
and networks and is motivated by those applications where it is crucial to
visualize structural information as graphs. Bridging the gap between
theoretical advances and implemented solutions is an important aspect of
the conference. Indeed, advances in graph drawing are a key factor in such
technological areas as Web computing, e-commerce, VLSI circuit design,
information systems, software engineering, bioinformatics, networking, and
cybergeography. Researchers and practitioners working on theoretical and
practical aspects of graph drawing are welcome to participate.

* Scope.
  ------

  The range of topics that are within the scope of the International
Symposium on Graph Drawing includes (but is not limited to):
   - Visualization of computer networks and Web maps
   - Graph algorithms
   - Visualization of software engineering diagrams
   - Geometric graph theory and geometric computing
   - Software systems and libraries for graph visualization
   - Topology and planarity
   - Visualization of database schemas
   - Graph combinatorics and optimization
   - Visualization of chemical structures and molecules

* Call for Papers, Demos, and Posters.
  ------------------------------------

  Authors are invited to submit papers describing original research and
surveys of theoretical or practical significance to graph drawing.
Demonstrations of systems incorporating original and innovative research
ideas are also solicited. A system demonstration should include
illustrative screen dumps and a description of the system's
functionalities. Regular papers and demos must be labeled as either long
or short; long papers will be assigned 12 pages in the conference
proceedings, and short papers 6 pages. Submissions of posters in graph
drawing and related areas are also solicited. The purpose is to provide a
forum for the communication of results (which may appear elsewhere) to the
graph drawing community.  A poster will be given 2 pages in the conference
proceedings.  Submission of substantially similar papers or demos to GD
2003 and to other conferences with published proceedings is not allowed.

* Graph Drawing Contest.
  ----------------------

  Following the tradition of previous conferences, a graph drawing contest
will be held. A $1,000 prize will be awarded to the winner. Details on the
contest will be provided on the conference web site.

* Instructions for Authors.
  -------------------------

  Each submission must include an indication of its type (paper, demo
description, or poster) and contact information for the primary author.
For a paper or a demo, an indication about whether it is a regular or a
short submission must also be given. Electronic submissions are strongly
encouraged. Detailed submission instructions will be provided on the
conference web site.

* Important Dates.
  ----------------

  - Submissions of papers, demos, and posters: May 31, 2003
  - Notification of acceptance: July 15, 2003
  - Graph Drawing Contest Submissions: TBA

* Proceedings.
  ------------

  Accepted submissions will be published in the conference proceedings,
which we plan to include in the Springer-Verlag series Lecture Notes in
Computer Science. Final versions of accepted submissions are due at the
conference. Instructions for Authors will be available after the paper
notification deadline.

* Location.
  ---------

  The Symposium on Graph Drawing will be held in Perugia, Italy. Perugia
is one of the most ancient Italian cities, located in the center of the
Country at the heart of the "Green Umbria" region. Because of its several
historical and artistic amenities, the city of Perugia and its
neighborhood attract many tourists every year. See also
http://www.perugiaonline.it/ for further information. Perugia is also the
location of one of European's oldest universities, the State University
(founded in 1308), as well as the University for Foreigners (founded in
1925). With over 35,000 students from all over the world, both
Universities play an important role in the city life. Details about hotels
and registration instructions will be provided on the conference web site.
