The Organizing Committee of GD 2015 hosted a gradate workshop, continuing the tradition of previous Symposia, focusing on open problems in graph drawing. The workshop Recent Trends in Graph Drawing: Curves, Graphs, and Intersections was held at the California State University Northridge, Los Angeles, CA, September 21–22, 2015, with six invited speakers and 20 registered participants (including 10 students from Cal State Northridge). The following invited talks formed the core of the program:

  • David Eppstein: Realizing Graphs as Polyhedra

  • Marc van Kreveld: Quality Ratios in Graph Drawing

  • Maarten Löffler: Drawing What You Do Not Know

  • Bettina Speckmann: Algorithmic Geo-visualization

  • Torsten Ueckerdt: Three Ways to Draw a Graph

  • Alexander Wolff: Simultaneous Drawings with Few Bends

Each morning, three speakers presented recent results in graph drawing, with an emphasis on open problems. These presentations laid down the groundwork for research in small groups in the afternoons. The participants and the speakers discussed new ideas and observations at the end of each day.

We thank the California State University Northridge, the College of Science and Mathematics, and the Department of Mathematics for their support. In particular, we thank Yen K. Duong and Rebecca E. Say for their invaluable help with hosting the Workshop on campus. We also thank all speakers and all participants for their contributions, and look forward to seeing the results of the collaboration initiated at the Workshop.
