The book presents the important fundamental theorems and algorithms on planar graph drawing with easy-to-understand and constructive proofs. Extensively illustrated and with exercises included at the end of each chapter, it is suitable for use in advanced undergraduate and graduate level courses on algorithms, graph theory, graph drawing, information visualization and computational geometry. The book will also serve as a useful reference source for researchers in the field of graph drawing and software developers in information visualization, VLSI design and CAD.

This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-conference proceedings of the 15th International Symposium on Graph Drawing, GD 2007, held in Sydney, Australia, September 24-26, 2007.

The 27 full papers and 9 short papers presented together with 2 invited talks, and a report on the graph drawing contest were carefully selected from 74 initial submissions. All current aspects in graph drawing are addressed ranging from foundational and methodological issues to applications for various classes of graphs in a variety of fields.

This volume gives the proceedings of ISAAC '92, the Third International Symposium on Algorithms and Computation, held in Nagoya, Japan, December 1992. The first symposium was held in Tokyo in 1990, as the first international symposium organized by SIGAL (Special Interest Groupon Algorithms in the Information Processing Society of Japan) to serve as anannual international forum in Asia for researchers in the area of algorithms. The second symposium was held in Taipei, Taiwan in 1991, where it was decided that computation would be included in the main scope of the symposium and that ISAAC would be its name. ISAAC '92 focuses on topics in design and analysis of algorithms, computational complexity, and theory of computation, including algorithms and data structures, parallel/distributed computing, automata and formal languages, probabilistic/approximation algorithms, computability and complexity, term rewriting systems, and computational geometry. The volume contains the accepted contributed papers and the invited papers.

This is the proceedings of the SIGAL International Symposium on Algorithms held at CSK Information Education Center, Tokyo, Japan, August 16-18, 1990. SIGAL (Special Interest Group on Algorithms) was organized within the Information Processing Society of Japan in 1988 to encourage research in the field of discrete algorithms, and held 6-8 research meetings each year. This symposium is the first international symposium organized by SIGAL. In response to the call for papers, 88 papers were submitted from around the world. The program committee selected 34 for presentation at the symposium. The symposium also included 5 invited lectures and 10 invited presentations. The subjects of the papers range widely in the field of discrete algorithms in theoretical computer science. Keywords for these subjects are: computational geometry, graph algorithms, complexity theory, parallel algorithms, distributed computing, and computational algebra.
