Abstract
Social networks, computer networks, business processes, biochemical reactions, data base schemas, software systems, and the world wide web have in common that they can be modeled as graphs and that visualization is crucial. A graph is a discrete structure consisting of vertices and edges, where the vertices correspond to the objects, and the edges to the relations of the structure to be modeled. Graph drawing is the task of the design, analysis, implementation, and evaluation of algorithms for automatically generating graph layouts that are easy to read and understand.
