Bridging the gap between theoretical advances and implemented solutions is an important aspect of the conference. Indeed, advances in graph drawing are a key factor in such technological areas as Web computing, e-commerce, VLSI circuit design, information systems, software engineering, bioinformatics, networking, and cybergeography. GD 2003 aims at bringing together researchers and practitioners from industry and academia to advance the state of the art in graph drawing theory and to encourage wider uptake of graph drawing techniques in industry. The conference will benefit from the contributions of two distinguished invited speakers. 46 high quality papers (selected from 89 submissions) will be presented, drawn from a wide range of subjects including visualization of computer networks and Web maps, graph algorithms, visualization of software engineering diagrams, geometric graph theory and geometric computing, software systems and libraries for graph visualization, topology and planarity, graph combinatorics and optimization, and visualization of chemical structures and molecules.

The call for nominations went out early summer, and I managed to contact all nominees (but one) and asked if they were available as a member of the steering committee, should they be elected. The following list of computational geometers were nominated, accepted the nomination, and can be elected by you. The election round starts with this e-mail. Pankaj Agarwal Chandrajit Bajaj Mark de Berg Marshall Bern Prosenjit Bose Herve Bronniman Erik Demaine Tamal Dey Herbert Edelsbrunner David Eppstein Jeff Erickson Sandor Fekete Steve Fortune Bernd Gaertner Leo Guibas Dan Halperin Sariel Har-Peled Ferran Hurtado Kurt Mehlhorn Joe Mitchell Dave Mount Janos Pach Suneeta Ramaswami Guenter Rote Jack Snoeyink Ileana Streinu Subhash Suri Gert Vegter Sue Whitesides The list above is in alphabetical order. To vote, send me an e-mail with in the subject "steering committee vote" and in the main text five names from the list. The order of the five names is not relevant. I will add up the numbers of votes; the five with the most votes will become the new steering committee. It will be up to them to select a chair and distribute other responsibilities. Votes can be sent to me until and including September 1, until midnight (whatever time zone you are in). FYI: The current steering committee (2001-2003) consists of: Joe Mitchell (chair) Jeff Erickson Dan Halperin Nina Amenta Marc van Kreveld The new steering committee will be in function for three years. Best wishes, Marc van Kreveld (secretary of the steering committee) E-mail: marc@cs.uu.nl ------------- The compgeom mailing lists: see http://netlib.bell-labs.com/netlib/compgeom/readme.html or send mail to compgeom-request@research.bell-labs.com with the line: send readme Now archived at http://www.uiuc.edu/~sariel/CG/compgeom/maillist.html.

One of the themes of NICTA is Human Machine Interaction. Within this theme, NICTA launched a Visualization program, called HUM, in July 2003. The aim of the program is to investigate new ways of presenting information to people. A few sample initial projects are: a.. Graph visualization: making pictures of discrete relational information such as social networks. b.. Physical interaction metaphors: using familiar paradigms from the physical world to navigate large abstract data sets. c.. Surveillance of fast-streamed data sets: displaying huge data sets that arrive very fast (such as telephone call data). d.. Ambient visualization: enhancing the periphery of the focus of attention with useful information. e.. Remote collaboration: groups of engineers can collaborate over design problems using networked visualizations. f.. Software visualization: making pictures of software designs, source code, and running processes. g.. Financial visualization: using pictures to help stock market analysts. The NICTA HUM program is seeking to recruit a.. Research students: Scholarships are available on a competitive basis. Applicants should have either: a.. A strong masters degree or honours in Computer Science/Engineering, or b.. A strong degree in the visual arts with extensive experience in Information Technology a.. Research staff: applicants should have a PhD in a field related to Information Visualization, Computational Geometry, Computer Graphics, and/or Human-Computer Interaction. There is no deadline for applications but we would like to fill a number of positions by January 2004. If you would like to discuss the opportunities in the NICTA HUM program, please contact the program leader, Professor Peter Eades, at peter.eades@nicta.com.au. --------------------------------------------------------- Peter Eades School of Information Technologies University of Sydney ------------- The compgeom mailing lists: see http://netlib.bell-labs.com/netlib/compgeom/readme.html or send mail to compgeom-request@research.bell-labs.com with the line: send readme Now archived at http://www.uiuc.edu/~sariel/CG/compgeom/maillist.html.
