The symposium is a forum for researchers, practitioners, developers and users working on all aspects of graph drawing. Continuing the tradition of GD '97 (Rome), GD '96 (Berkeley), GD '95 (Passau), and GD '94 (Princeton), the proceedings of GD '98 will be published in the Springer-Verlag Lecture Notes in Computer Science series. GD '98 follows the 10th Canadian Conference on Computational Geometry, August 10-12, 1998, held at McGill University. See http://cgm.cs.mcgill.ca/cccg98. Scope: Graph drawing studies the construction of visualizations and layouts of abstract graphs and networks. The automatic generation of drawings of graphs has important applications in key areas such as databases, software engineering, VLSI, networks, and visual interfaces as well as in fields outside computer science. The range of issues considered in graph drawing includes algorithms, graph theory, geometry, order theory, graphic languages, perception, applications and practical systems. Much research in graph drawing is motivated by applications to systems for viewing and interacting with graphs. The interaction between theoretical advances and implemented solutions is an important part of the graph drawing field. Results on perception and visualization issues related to diagrams are relevant. Call for Papers: Papers describing original research and surveys are being sought. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * Algorithms, models, and techniques for drawing graphs. * Applications of graph drawing to areas such as software visualization, user interface design and database query formulation. * Concepts for visualizations of structural information. * Research on perception issues related to diagram understanding. * Tools and systems for graph drawing. * Geometric and topological graph theory. Call for Demos: Submissions of demos are solicited. Areas of interest include, but are not limited to: * Visualization of graphs. * Novel graph-based software visualization and software engineering applications. * Database visualization with graphs and hypergraphs. * Programming environments for graphs and their layouts. * Algorithm animation with graphs. * User interfaces for viewing graphs, e.g., interactive exploration of large graphs, presentation of dynamic graphs. Call for Posters: Submissions of posters in graph drawing and related areas are solicited. The purpose is to provide a forum for the communication of results (which may appear elsewhere) to the graph drawing community. Graph Drawing Contest: Following the tradition of previous conferences, a graph drawing contest will be held. Details will be given in a later call for papers and at the web site. Special Issue: A special issue of the electronic Journal of Graph Algorithms and Applications will be devoted to papers presented at GD '98. Both theoretical and applied papers that in electronic form contain interactive appendices with running demos or proof animations or hyperlinks to useful references are encouraged. Details will be given in a later call for papers and at the web site. Program Committee: Chair: Sue Whitesides (McGill Univ.) Franz Brandenburg (Univ. Passau), Peter Eades (Univ.
