This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-proceedings of the 8th International Symposium on Graph Drawing, GD 2000, held in Colonial Williamsburg, VA, USA, in September 2000.
The 36 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from a total of 68 submissions. The book presents topical sections on empirical studies and standards, theory, application and systems, force-directed layout, k-level graph layout, orthogonal drawing, symmetry and incremental layout, and reports on a workshop on graph data formats and on the annual GD graph drawing contest.
