Preface
This volume contains the papers presented at the 24th International Symposium on
Graph Drawing and Network Visualization (GD 2016), which took place September
19–21, 2016, in Athens, Greece. Graph drawing is concerned with the theory of and
algorithms for thegeometric representation of graphs,while network visualization has
wideapplicationsinunderstandingandanalyzingrelationaldatasets.Informationabout
theconferenceseriesandpastsymposiaismaintainedathttp://www.graphdrawing.org.
Thisyear,theconferencewashostedbytheInstituteofCommunicationsandComputer
Systems, an affiliate of the National Technical University of Athens, with Antonios
SymvonisasthechairoftheOrganizingCommittee.Atotalof99participantsfrom16
countries attended the conference, whose venue was located in the beautiful historic
center of Athens.
Papersubmissionsweredividedintotwomaintracksandanadditionalpostertrack:
Track 1 for combinatorial and algorithmic aspects of graph drawing and Track 2 for
experimental, applied, and network visualization aspects. In each of the two tracks
authors could submit full papers or short papers. All tracks were handled by a single
Program Committee. In response to the call for papers, the Program Committee
received a total of 112 submissions consisting of 99 papers (66 in Track 1 and 33 in
Track 2)and13posters. More than 350 expert reviews were provided, ofwhichmore
than 130 were contributed by external subreviewers. After often extensive electronic
discussions,theProgramCommitteeselected44papersandall13postersforinclusion

electronic versions of all accepted papers were made available through a conference
index on the ArXiv repository before the conference.
There were two keynote talks at GD 2016. Roger Wattenhofer (ETH Zurich,
Switzerland) talked about “Distributed Computing: Graph Drawing Unplugged” and
Daniel Keim (University of Konstanz, Germany) talked about “The Role of Visual
Analytics in Exploring Graph Data.” Abstracts of both talks are included in the
proceedings.

the best paper award in Track 1 to the paper “Block Crossings in Storyline Visual-
izations” by Thomas C. van Dijk, Martin Fink, Norbert Fischer, Fabian Lipp, Peter
Markfelder, Alex Ravsky, Subhash Suri, and Alexander Wolff, and in Track 2 to the
paper“ASparseStressModel”byMarkOrtmann,MirzaKlimenta,andUlrikBrandes.
The participants of the conference voted to give the best presentation award to Martin
Gronemann for his presentation of the paper “Bitonic st-orderings for Upward Planar
Graphs” and the best poster award to Jonathan Klawitter and Tamara Mchedlidze for
VI Preface
their poster entitled “Heuristic Picker for Book Drawings.” Congratulations to all
award winners for their excellent contributions!
Following the tradition, the 23rd Annual Graph Drawing Contest was held during
the conference. The contest had two parts, each with two categories: the Creative
Topics (Panama papers and Greek mythology family tree) and the Live Challenge on
crossing minimization in book embeddings (Automatic Category and Manual Cate-
gory). Awards were given in each of the four categories. We thank the Contest
Committee for preparing interesting and challenging contest problems. A report about
the contest is included in the proceedings.
Directly after GD 2016, a two-day PhD school on “Visualization Software” took
place. We thank Antonios Symvonis for organizing this satellite event. A short report
about the school is also included in the proceedings.
Many people and organizations contributed to the success of GD 2016. We thank
the Program Committee members and the external reviewers for carefully reviewing
and discussing thesubmitted papers and posters,and for putting together a strong and
interestingprogram.ThankstoalltheauthorsforchoosingGD2016asthepublication
venue for their research. Further, we thank the local organizers, Kostas Karpouzis,
ChrysanthiRaftopoulou,AntoniosSymvonis,andIoannisTollis,andallthevolunteers
who put a lot of time and effort into the organization of GD 2016.
GD 2016 thanks its sponsors, “gold” sponsor Tom Sawyer Software, “silver”
sponsors yWorks and Microsoft, and “bronze” sponsor Springer. Their generous
supporthelps toensure thecontinuedsuccessofthisconference.Wefurther thankthe
team behind EasyChair for providing an incredibly useful conference management
system.
