Graph Drawing - 7th International Symposium, GD'99, Stirin Castle, Czech Republic, September 15-19, 1999 Proceedings (Paperback, 1999 ed.)

The range of issues considered in graph drawing includes algorithms, graph theory, geometry, topology, order theory, graphic languages, perception, app- cations, and practical systems. Much research is motivated by applications to systems for viewing and interacting with graphs. The interaction between th- retical advances and implemented solutions is an important part of the graph drawing eld. The annually organized graph drawing symposium is a forum for researchers, practitioners, developers, and users working on all aspects of graph visualization and representations. The preceding symposia were held in M- treal (GD 98), Rome (GD 97), Berkeley (GD 96), Passau (GD 95), Princeton (GD 94), and Paris (GD 93). The Seventh International Symposium on Graph Drawing GD 99 was or- nized at Sti r n Castle, in the vicinity of Prague, Czech Republic. This baroque castle recently restored as a hotel and conference center provided a secluded place for the participants, who made good use of the working atmosphere of the conference. In total the symposium had 83 registered participants from 16 countries."
