This book constitutes the proceedings of the 23rdInternational Symposium on Graph Drawing and Network Visualization, GD 2015,held in Los Angeles, Ca, USA, in September 2015. The 35 full papers presented together with 7 short papersand 8 posters in this volume were carefully reviewed and selected from 77submissions. Graph Drawing is concerned with the geometric representation ofgraphs and constitutes the algorithmic core of Network Visualization. GraphDrawing and Network Visualization are motivated by applications where it iscrucial to visually analyze and interact with relational datasets. Examples ofsuch application areas include social sciences, Internet and Web computing,information systems, computational biology, networking, VLSI circuit design,and software engineering. This year the Steering Committee of GD decided to extendthe name of the conference from the "International Symposium on GraphDrawing" to the "International Symposium on Graph Drawing and NetworkVisualization" in order to better emphasize the dual focus of theconference on combinatorial and algorithmic aspects as well as the design ofnetwork visualization systems and interfaces.
