GD 2020 UPDATED: 1
August 2020 28th International Symposium on Graph Drawing and Network Visualization September 16-18, 2020 Vancouver, Canada https://gd2020.cs.ubc.ca/ |
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 be online on
September 16-18, 2020, hosted by 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.
Posters
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.Due to Covid-19 poster
session will be done online. During the conference there will be an online
45-minute poster session where participants of the conference will have access
to zoom rooms, one room for each accepted poster with at least one of the
authors present in the room to answer questions. Furthermore, each poster will be accessible
online to all participants during the entire conference. Authors of posters
should prepare an abstract (up to two pages, excluding references, in LNCS
style) that must be submitted via easychair. Abstracts of accepted posters will
appear in the conference proceedings (two pages+references). The format of the
poster is unrestricted this year, the authors just send a URL for their
electronic poster. However, there are two requirements: (1) the poster must be
accessible online during the entire period September 10-25, (2) a participant
should be able to get the main information within at most 5 minutes when
browsing/reading the poster.
A valid webiste URL for the electronic
poster must be written on a separate line at the end of the 2-page
abstract. It will not count for the 2-page limit.
The URL may point to a blank page until August 19, and the authors are allowed to update it until September 9 (23:59 PDT). The selection of accepted posters will be based on the extended abstracts submitted before August 12 via easychair and on the posters in their versions on August 20-21. The Program Committee (PC) will not publish or share the URL of a poster with anybody outside of the PC before September 5.
Each submission
will then consist of a pdf file (the two-page abstract) and a web link 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=gd2020
Each poster must be presented
at the conference by at least an author, otherwise the abstract will not be
included in the proceedings.
Best posters 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 2020 attendees.
Publication
All accepted papers (including the two-page poster abstracts) will appear
in the conference proceedings, published by Springer in the Lecture Notes in
Computer Science (LNCS) series. The LNCS
proceedings will be made freely accessible to the GD community upon publication
and openly accessible to anyone after four years.
Authors will be required to submit their accepted papers to the arXiv repository, in order to
provide immediate and unrestricted open access to them. The self-archived arXiv
papers shall consist of the LNCS proceedings version (identical, except for
possibly changed references to the appendix resp. the arXiv version) plus an optional
clearly marked appendix. Subsequent submissions of revised versions of the
paper to the arXiv (known as arXiv ``replacements”) are allowed. Failure to
comply with these guidelines will impede the publication of the paper.
Each paper or poster must be presented at
the conference by an author (barring unforeseen circumstances), otherwise the
paper will not be included in the proceedings. Should any visa 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.
Selected papers from
both tracks will be invited for submission to a special issue of the Journal of Graph
Algorithms and Applications (JGAA). The authors of two selected papers
in Track 2 will be invited to submit a substantially extended version of their
work to IEEE Transactions on Visualization and Computer
Graphics (TVCG). Furthermore, two regular TVCG papers will be
presented by their authors in a TVCG papers session.
