Topological & Geometric Graph Theory – TGGT 2008

Paris, 19th to 23rd of May 2008

http://tggt.cams.ehess.fr/


The aim of TGGT 2008 is to present research at the forefront of
scientific research in the domain of Topological and Geometric Graph
Theory. The conference will provide the opportunity for the world’s
leading scientists and other participants, including young
researchers, to meet informally. It will act as a catalyst for
creating new networks, while consolidating the research centers of the
field in Paris and its surroundings. The conference is dedicated to
Hubert de Fraysseix on his 60th birthday.

Scope

The range of topics that are within the scope of the International
Conference on Topological and Geometric Graph Theory includes (but is
not limited to):

* Geometric graph theory
* Topological graph theory and planarity
* Combinatorial maps
* Discrete complexes and homology
* Random topological or geometric structures
* Graph drawing
* Metric embeddings
* …

Call for Papers

Authors are invited to submit abstracts describing original research
of theoretical or practical significance to topological and geometric
graph theory. Abstracts should not exceed 4 single-spaced pages. If
the authors believe that more details are essential to substantiate
the main claims of the paper, they may include a clearly marked
appendix that will be read at the discretion of the committee.
Submissions deviating from these guidelines or from the submission
deadline below risk rejection without consideration of their merits.
