                       23rd International Symposium on
                   Graph Drawing and Network Visualization

                 September 24-26, 2015 - Los Angeles, CA, USA

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

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 social sciences, Internet and Web computing,
information systems, computational biology, networking, VLSI circuit 
design,
and software engineering.

The International Symposium on Graph Drawing has been the main annual event
in this area for more than twenty years. This year the Steering 
Committee of
GD decided to extend the name of the conference from the "International
Symposium on Graph Drawing" to the "International Symposium on Graph 
Drawing
and Network Visualization" in order to better emphasize the dual focus of
the conference on combinatorial and algorithmic aspects as well as the 
design
of network visualization systems and interfaces.

The conference will be hosted by the California State University at 
Northridge,
in Los Angeles, CA, from September 24 to 26, 2015. Researchers and 
practitioners
working on any aspect of graph drawing and network visualization are 
invited to
participate in the symposium and the graph drawing contest.
