โฆ Synopsis
Graph drawing plays an important role in the solution of many information visualization problems. Most of the graph drawing algorithms are accompanied by a theoretical analysis of their characteristics, but only extensive experimentations can assess the practical performance of graph drawing algorithms in reallife applications. In this paper, we describe the results of some of the most popular experimental studies on graph drawing algorithms. Each study presents an in-depth comparative analysis on a specific class of algorithms, namely, algorithms for orthogonal drawings, interactive algorithms, algorithms for hierarchical drawings, and force-directed and randomized algorithms.

A simple algorithm for drawing 3-connected planar graphs is presented. It is derived from the Fruchterman and Reingold spring embedding algorithm by deleting all repulsive forces and fixing vertices of an outer face. The algorithm is implemented in the system for manipulating discrete mathematical s
In this paper we introduce a new style of drawing a plane graph G, called proper ลฝ . box rectangular PBR drawing. It is defined to be a drawing of G such that every vertex is drawn as a rectangle, called a box, each edge is drawn as either a horizontal or a vertical line segment, and each face is dr
The reconfigurable multiple bus machine (RMBM) is a model of parallel computation based on reconfigurable buses. Unlike other reconfigurable bus-based models such as the reconfigurable mesh (R-Mesh), the RMBM separates the functions of processors and switches. In this paper, we present constant time
