                   Preliminary Call for Papers

                        Graph Drawing '94

                DIMACS Workshop on Graph Drawing

       DIMACS Center, New Jersey, October 10-12, 1994


Scope

Graph drawing addresses the problem of constructing geometric
representations of abstract graphs and networks.  The automatic
generation of drawings of graphs has important applications in key
computer technologies such as software engineering, database design,
and visual interfaces.  Further challenging applications can be found
in architectural design, circuit schematics, and project management.
Recent progress in algorithm design, computational geometry,
topological graph theory, and order theory has considerably affected
the evolution of this field, and has widened the range of issues being
investigated.

The aim of Graph Drawing '94 (GD '94) is to cover the major trends in
the area.  The format of the workshop will be informal. Industry
representatives are welcome to attend.  It is anticipated that the
workshop will assess the state-of-the-art in the area, open new
research directions, and further collaborative efforts between computer
scientists, mathematicians, and applied researchers.  GD '94 follows
the GD '93 ALCOM Workshop, held in Paris, and the GD '92 Work Meeting,
held in Rome.

GD '94 is sponsored by DIMACS, the NSF Science and Technology Center in
Discrete Mathematics and Theoretical Computer Science hosted by Rutgers
University, Princeton University, ATT Bell Laboratories, and Bellcore.
Limited financial support for partial coverage of expenses of selected
participants is available.  Priority will be given to junior
researchers and Ph.D. students.  To receive full consideration,
requests should be made to one of the organizers by July 20.


Topics

Papers describing original research and surveys addressing open
problems are solicited.  Areas of interest include, but are not limited
to:

Applications of graph drawing, such as computer-aided
	instruction, database queries, information browsers, network
	management, software visualization, and user interfaces.

Tools and systems for graph drawing.

Topological graph theory; combinatorial issues such as
	planarity, orientations, and orders.

Geometric graph theory; 2- and 3-dimensional representations of
	graphs and hypergraphs by geometric relations, such as
	visibility, proximity, intersection, inclusion and adjacency.

Models, algorithms, and techniques for drawing graphs,
	such as partitioning, layering, orientation, planarization,
	dynamic layout restructuring, graph grammars, and declarative
	specifications.

Drawing algorithms for specific families of graphs, such
	as trees, planar graphs, acyclic digraphs, and order digraphs.



Submission of Papers

Abstracts (1-4 pages) of short papers, or extended abstracts (6-12
pages) of regular papers should be submitted by July 20.  Submissions
can be made by email or hardcopy.  Email submissions in  or postscript
(compressed and uuencoded) should be sent to Roberto Tamassia
(rt@cs.brown.edu).  Hardcopy submissions should be sent in 10 copies to:

Ioannis G. Tollis, Department of Computer Science, The University of
Texas at Dallas, P.O. Box 830688, EC 31, Richardson, TX 75083-0688
(USA).

Notification of acceptance or rejection will be done by email on or
before September 1.  Camera-ready versions of the papers are due at the
workshop.  The proceedings of GD '94 will include short and regular
papers, and will be published after the workshop by Springer-Verlag or
the American Mathematical Society (AMS).
