Graph or network theory and its visualization mathematically structure, model and visualize pairwise relations between objects and their attributes. Graph or network and its visualization has been used in wide range of applications, such as website maps, evolutionary trees, phylogenetic trees, molecular trees, genetic maps, data flow diagrams, subroutine-call graphs, entity relationship diagrams, semantic networks, knowledge-representation diagrams, and many more. This focused symposium provides a premier international forum for researchers and industrial practitioners to exchange state-of-the-art ideas in theories, designs, evaluations, and applications in the field of graph theory and network visualization.

The topics of interests include but are not limited to:

Graph drawing algorithms, visualization methods and graph interaction
Applications and tools for effective visualization of graphs and networks
Graph and network theory, and their applications
Evaluation on graph and network visualization and interaction.
Human perception and cognition in graph and network visualization
Benchmarking tools for studies of network visualization systems, user interfaces and graph theory
Visual Analytics with graphs and networks
