23rd International Symposium on Graph Drawing and Network Visualization - Graph Drawing 2015
























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 contribute papers and posters and to participate
in the symposium and the graph drawing contest.

Hegemony or Resistance? The Ambiguous Power of Communication

This year’s conference theme seeks to explore the ambiguous relationship of communication towards hegemony and resistance. It relates, for example, to the various ways in which communication has been described not only as a value of our times – echoing an ideal for social transparency and communality – but also as a threat in terms of global domination. This ambiguity has prompted debates in academia about communication being at the same time a value and a tool, a space of consent and one of struggle, and having (more authentic) local and global dimensions.
