Graph-Drawing Contest 1997
--------------------------


The fourth annual graph-drawing contest is now open. The idea of the
contest is simple: adjacency lists and attribute of three graphs are
available via ftp. The challenge is to create good visualizations of
these graphs. Reports of the previous graph-drawing contests can be
found in Springer Lecture Notes in Computer Science Volumes 894, 1027,
and 1190.


This year features one artificial graph designed specifically to
challenge orthogonal graph-drawing algorithms, and two graphs with
real-world data.


Winning entries for each graph will be chosen by a panel of experts.
A prize fund of $750 (U.S.) is anticipated. As usual, the winning
entries will be described in the proceedings of the Graph Drawing
conference.


The three graphs, rules, and further information about the
contest is available from
        http://www.inf.uniroma3.it/calendar/gd97/contest/rules.html
The deadline for entries is midnight, September 10, 1997.
(Note: This is a hard deadline.)
