Abstract
There are many obstacles in the way of someone wishing to make use of existing graph drawing technology— software installation and data conversion can be time-consuming and may be prohibitively difficult for the casual or novice user, and software may be limited to a particular platform or provided interface. The Graph Drawing Server (GDS) [2] seeks to remove many of these obstacles by providing a graph drawing and translation service with an easy-to-use webbased interface1. A user needs only a commonly-available web browser to access a variety of algorithms, without having to install any additional software or do any format translations (once the data is in one of many supported formats). GDS has received over 62,000 requests from 43 countries since June 1996.
Research supported in part by the NSF under grants CCR-9732327 and CDA- 9703080, and by the U.S. Army Research Office under grant DAAH04-96-1-0013. Work done while the first author was at Brown University.
