Graph Drawing: Algorithms for the Visualization of GraphsThis course covers the most important algorithms to draw graphs. Methods from the course Algorithmische Graphentheorie (Algorithmic Graph Theory) such as divide and conquer, flow networks and integer programming will be used. We will become familiar with measures of quality of a graph drawing as well as algorithms that optimize these measures.
Our goal is to get an overview of graph visualization and familiarize with common tools in order to consolidate our knowledge about the modelling and solving of problems with the help of graphs and graph algorithms.
We expect at least two foreign students for this course; therefore the lecture and the tutorial will be in English. Of course, questions can always be asked in German, too.
Lectures: Thursdays, 10:15–11:45 at Seminarraum III (room A005), Building M2 (first lecture: Thu, April 28)
Tutorials: Mondays, 16:15–17:45 at Seminarraum III (first tutorial: Mon, May 2)
Lecturers: Alexander Wolff (lectures) and Tim Hegemann, Diana Sieper (tutorials)
Assessment: Oral examination (one candidate each, approx. 20 minutes) on Fri, August 5.
If you achieve at least 50% of points on the exercise sheets, you receive a 0.3 grade bonus on the final grade (provided you pass the oral exam).
Extend: 5 ECTS, 2+2 SWS
Prerequisites: Highly recommended: Algorithmische Graphentheorie (Algorithmic Graph Theory)
Target Audience: Master Computer Science, Master Mathematics, Master Computational Mathematics, etc.

There will be a new exercise sheet every week after the lecture (probably not for the last lecture). The deadline for each is the next lecture. Your submission will be graded and if you achieve at least 50% of points, you receive a 0.3 grade bonus on the final grade (provided you pass the exam).
We ask you to build groups of two and submit one solution per group. Please state the names of both group members on your submission. Digital submissions would be appreciated. You may use the provided LaTeX Template. We accept submissions in German and English.
