[news.announce.conferences] CFP - Symposium on Computational Geometry

scot@eleazar.dartmouth.edu (Scot Drysdale) (10/10/90)

-------------------   CALL FOR PAPERS   --------------------------

         Seventh Annual Symposium on COMPUTATIONAL GEOMETRY
                          10-12 June 1991
                    North Conway, New Hampshire

Papers presenting original research in computational geometry are
being sought.  Suggested topic areas include (but are not limited to):

  * geometric algorithms and data structures
  * discrete and combinatorial geometry
  * applications with a geometric flavor, including
       - collision avoidance, motion planning, grasping
       - computer graphics: hidden surface, rendering, ray tracing
       - solid modeling, CAD, simulation
       - pattern recognition: shape decomposition
  * integer and linear programming related to geometric problems
  * mathematical bases for computational geometry
  * issues arising from the implementation of geometric algorithms
  * programming language issues in computational geometry

Authors should send ten (10) copies of an extended abstract
before DECEMBER 7, 1990 to the Program Committee Chair:

                Herbert Edelsbrunner
                Department of Computer Science
                University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign
                1304 West Springfield Avenue
                Urbana, IL 61801

Abstracts received past this deadline risk rejection without
further consideration.  Authors will be notified of acceptance or
rejection by February 11, 1991.  A copy of each accepted paper,
typed on model paper, will be due by March 15, 1991, for inclusion
in the proceedings.

Authors are advised to prepare their extended abstracts
carefully.  Each submission should begin with a succinct statement of the
problems, the main results, and the significance of the work in the context
of previous research.  The extended abstract (NOT A FULL PAPER)
should provide sufficient detail to allow the program committee to evaluate
the validity and quality of the contribution and its appropriateness to the
conference.  The entire extended abstract should not exceed 10
double-spaced pages. Abstracts significantly deviating from this format
risk rejection without consideration of their merits.

The Symposium is sponsored by ACM SIGACT and SIGGRAPH.

Proceedings will be distributed at the Symposium and will be subsequently
available for purchase from ACM.
