Progress in 'geometric programming' is documented in the literature and demonstrated in commercial systems. However, geometric programming is still inhibited by unresolved problems in interfacing and exchanging geometric data and algorithms, which are compounded by factors such as incompatible models and assumptions, legacy data, and the adoption of case-by-case solutions. These difficulties are somewhat similar to the challenges that have been faced in other areas of computing over the last twenty years. Indeed, software engineering concepts, including portability of applications, plug-and-play software, and standardized application programming interfaces have been advocated as partial solutions to the interface problem in geometric programming; familiar results of this approach include kernel modellers and component-based CAD systems. However, more profound interoperability of geometric systems requires formal frameworks for defining common syntax and semantics of geometric constructs and operations which are largely independent of specific representations. This special issue will contain papers presenting new research results in topics including, but not limited to: * Advantages and limitations of existing methods in geometric programming, and the theoretical and practical barriers to further progress. * New abstractions and techniques for geometric programming. * General principles for designing and constructing geometric languages and interfaces. * Formal methods for defining the syntax and semantics of geometric programs. * Spatial (geometric, topological, and combinatorial) abstractions and models, and their applications in geometric programming. * Specification, design and implementation of application-specific languages, toolkits, and environments: in areas such as design and manufacture, robotics, architecture, and scientific visualization. Well-researched survey papers are also particularly welcome. All papers will be refereed. Authors should consult the "Notes for Authors", which are printed at the back of most issues of Computer-Aided Design, for information about preparation of their manuscripts. Papers of an appropriate standard which are not included in the special issue may be considered for publication in a regular issue of Computer-Aided_Design.

The business meeting was conducted by Mark Overmars, Chair of the SoCG Steering Committee. 1. Reports on 14th SoCG (1998) Ravi Janardan reported that there were approximately 140 registrants for the conference, including 30 students. The Program Chairs reported the following submissions and acceptances: ________________________________________________________________ | Track |Program Chair |Comm. Members||Submittd|Accepted | |____________|_______________|_____________||________|_________| | Applied |Jarek Rossignac| 15 || 53 | 19 | | Theoreticl |Ken Clarkson | 11 || 57 | 25 | | Total | | 26 || 110 | 44 | | Video |Dan Halperin | 7 || 10 | 7 | |____________|_______________|_____________||________|_________| Ken Clarkson noted that all but three theory track submissions were sent via email, using the SIGACT server, and all but one accepted paper was sent using the SIGACT server. 2. 15th SoCG (1999): Miami Beach Victor Milenkovic, 1999 Conference Chair, detailed the plans for the 15th annual conference, to be held June 13-16 on Miami Beach, FL, USA. The rooms at the Radisson Hotel are $98+tax per night. The Program Chairs for the applied and theoretical tracks are John Canny and Marshall Bern respectively. Jeff Erickson will chair the Video Review. 3. 16th SoCG (2000): Hong Kong Two bids were offered: Hong Kong (Otfried Cheong [ne Schwarzkopf] and Siu-Wing Cheng) and Israel (Klara Kedem). After a discussion of both options, a vote was taken, with Hong Kong favored by the majority (50 vs. 31). Although the airfares are expensive (currently $700-$800 US/Canada-Hong Kong; $1200 Europe-Hong Kong), lodging costs and registration fees are expected to lower the total cost toward comparability with a North American site. 4. 17th SoCG (2001) There was a discussion of attempting to co-locate with another relate d conference in 2001, and the Steering Committee was given freedom to investigate possibilities and report back to the community. 5. e-Print Archives I informed the community that the Los Alamos LANL e-Print archive (http://xxx.lanl.gov) is expanding into Computer Science [it started in Physics in the early 1990's, and has since expanded into Mathematics], and that I volunteered to Joseph Halpern (Cornell), who chairs a committee on this topic, to help moderate in computational geometry. The response at the meeting was enthusiastic, with the only cautionary note concerning whether computational geometry papers will have a natural category, or will it be so fractured across classification boundaries that focus will be difficult. Subsequent to the business meeting, this issue has advanced in two ways. First, Jeff Erickson has volunteered to share the moderator duties with me. Second, I have written to Joe Halpern to convey the community's concern on categorization, and he is very sympathetic, and hopes that this can be addressed by, e.g., filtering mailing lists by keyword. 6. Procedures Mark Overmars walked through a number of points from a SoCG Procedures document he drafted, an attempt to make explicit how we intend to run the conference in the future. 1. Conference format: Four days, two nonparallel tracks (applied and theoretical), 50-60 total presentations of 20-25 minutes each. No short communications. 2. Two program committees, whose chairs are selected by the Steering Committee. Recommended 6-8 committee members for each track. 3. Ten-page abstracts submitted to a particular track. No submissions by program committee members to their own track (but they may submit to the other track). 4. The selection process should be essentially the same for both tracks: same deadlines, same guidelines, same committee size, same type of feedback to authors, either both have a committee meeting or both run the selection electronically, etc. 5. No track switches after reviewing, but the two chairs should try to meet early on and move papers (with permission of the authors) to the other track if they deem it appropriate. Various people spoke for or against specific points, but the basic outline-- emphasizing continuation of this year's format coupled with uniformity and collaboration between the two tracks--was accepted.

This workshop will be immediately before SODA 99, which will be held in the same location. The aim of ALENEX99 is to provide a forum for the presentation of original research in the implementation and experimental evaluation of algorithms and data structures. Papers are invited which present significant case studies in experimental analysis (which may tighten, extend, or otherwise improve current theoretical results), or in the implementation, testing, and evaluation of algorithms for realistic environments and scenarios. We also invite papers that address methodological issues and standards in the context of empirical research on algorithms and data structures. The scientific program will include invited talks as well as contributed research papers, and will include time for discussion and debate of topics in this rapidly evolving research area. It is planned to publish the proceedings of ALENEX99 as a volume of the Springer Lecture Notes in Computer Science series. This workshop is colocated with SODA '99 and will be held on the two days preceeding that conference. A (10-page or 2-page) paper which has been reviewed and accepted for presentation at SODA is not eligible for submission to ALENEX. However we recognize that some research projects spawn multiple papers that elaborate on different aspects of the work, and we are willing to respond to inquiries about overlapping papers. Authors are invited to submit 10-page extended abstracts to the organizers by SEPTEMBER 11, 1998. For physical submissions, send 10 copies of the extended abstract to: Catherine C. McGeoch Department of Mathematics and Computer Science Amherst College Amherst, MA 01002 Instructions about electronic submissions will appear at our conference website: http://www.cs.jhu.edu/Conferences/ALENEX99/ Extended abstracts will be made available to participants at the workshop. The deadline for submission of full papers for publication in the proceedings is JANUARY 15, 1999. The ALENEX Workshop is intended to alternate in future years with the (European) ALEX conference. The last ALEX meeting was ALEX98, and the next is planned for the year 2000.

I hope you don't mind this inquiry. It has been my experience that it is better to ask for insight versus experiencing it directly once you have gone down a blind alley with an algorithm development. I am planning a development that involves the placement of 2D circles in a restricted area. I would appreciate any leads you may have with regard to a similar study or project at a University. The best way to describe the development is to imagine a cluster of balloons. Each balloon has a fixed (equal) diameter and has an elastic string tied to it. The other end of the string is tied to an origin point. Each balloon's origin is spaced from another's origin in an arbitrary pattern. The origin to origin spacing is typically less than the diameter of a balloon, so a balloon can't be placed over its origin without pushing the adjacent balloons off their origins. The object of the development is to bring all the balloons as close to their origins as possible (minimizing the tension of the elastic string) with each balloon just touching. I have two fairly straight forward approaches, but frequently they do not represent the best way to solve the problem. One would simply explode the balloons from a geometric center beyond any possible intersection with the other balloons. Then it would use the elastic string to pull the balloons back as close as possible to the respective origin never allowing overlap while doing the pull back. The other would start with each balloon at its origin and then working from computed overlap forces move the balloons until no overlap occurs. I would be very interested in any suggestions you might have of similar research I could review.

These curves are fragments from the boundaries of some unknown regions. The output needed is a collection of closed, piece-wise linear curves of which the input curves are a subset. These closed curves should somehow capture the shape of the region boundaries. I'm aware of work on reconstructing curves from point data (such as the crust), but hadn't seen anything that considered starting from curve fragments.

However, I could not find an actual implementation of F. Aurenhammer's reduction to 4-D power diagrams, as described e.g. in the textbook by Boissonnat & Yvinec. On request, F. Aurenhammer told me that he could remind some Japanese group working on an implementation. Unfortunately, he wasn't able to recall any more details. I would be very grateful to any hint or reference to either this group or any other person who has worked on this subject. Thank you very much.

Workshop Organizers: Andre Gueziec IBM T.J. Watson Research Center gueziec@watson.ibm.com Gabriel Taubin IBM T.J. Watson Research Center taubin@watson.ibm.com --------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----- Workshop description: --------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----- There has been recently considerable interest in methods for progressively delivering 3D surface geometry across a network or to a display terminal. A few techniques have been proposed in the past few years, which can be broadly classified as methods based on polygonal surfaces or wavelets. It is a particularly good time to discuss these issues now, because of the current interest in visualization of large surface datasets, e.g. geographic data sets. Also, there is considerable activity in the standardization of such techniques, for instance in VRML and MPEG. The purpose of this workshop is to bring together experts involved in approaches using polygonal surfaces as well as approaches using wavelets for visualization problems involving geometric data where the issue of progressive transmission or display is important. We will attempt to answer the questions listed below, as well as other questions that the participants feel important to address: - What is the relation between wavelet-based approaches and polygonal surface based approaches for progressive transmission of 3D geometry? Are they fundamentally the same? Is one approach superior to the other? - How can progressive transmission and view-dependent refinement of 3D geometry work together best? - How do current methods handle singular (non-manifold) input geometry? - Is it important to change the topology during progressive transmission? - How to cope with lost packets during transmission (assuming a protocol allowing that is used)? How to adapt the resolution/bitrate to the transmission bandwidth. We are planning to write a report on this workshop and publish it in a prominent journal or magazine. We may also decide to publish the proceedings. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----- If you wish to participate --------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----- "Viz" requires that we limit participation to 20 people. As the workshop is scheduled to last 4 hours, we will do half talks and half discussion. We would like interested people to submit a 2 page abstract if they want to give a talk, or 2 page statement if they want to participate to the discussions without giving a talk. If you wish to participate, please send your submission to gueziec@watson.ibm.com, either in postscript or pdf form. Feel free to send us e-mail for any further inquiry. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----- ------------- The compgeom mailing lists: see http://netlib.bell-labs.com/netlib/compgeom/readme.html or send mail to compgeom-request@research.bell-labs.com with the line: send readme From compgeom-owner@research.bell-labs.com Tue Sep 8 20:36:44 1998 Return-Path: Received: from dirty.research.bell-labs.com (dirty.research.bell-labs.com [204.178.16.6]) by taurus.math.tau.ac.il (8.8.3/8.8.3) with SMTP id VAA24668; Tue, 8 Sep 1998 21:36:37 +0300 (GMT+0300) Received: from netlib2.cs.bell-labs.com ([135.104.9.27]) by dirty; Tue Sep 8 14:35:07 EDT 1998 Received: from research.research.bell-labs.com by netlib2; Mon Sep 7 16:37:02 EDT 1998 Received: from dusty.research.bell-labs.com ([135.104.2.7]) by research; Mon Sep 7 16:36:16 EDT 1998 Received: from cs.brown.edu ([128.148.32.2]) by dusty; Mon Sep 7 16:36:14 EDT 1998 Received: from cs.brown.edu (loki.cs.brown.edu [128.148.38.50]) by cs.brown.edu (8.8.5/8.7.1) with ESMTP id QAA01803; Mon, 7 Sep 1998 16:35:42 -0400 (EDT) Sender: map@cs.brown.edu Message-ID: <35F4439E.BBA63F4D@cs.brown.edu> Date: Mon, 07 Sep 1998 16:35:42 -0400 From: Maurizio Pizzonia Organization: Brown University X-Mailer: Mozilla 4.05 [en] (X11; I; SunOS 5.6 sun4u) MIME-Version: 1.0 To: pizzonia@dia.uniroma3.it, compgeom-announce@research.bell-labs.com Subject: GDToolkit 2.0 - new release Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Precedence: bulk Status: RO Content-Length: 1595 Lines: 45 We are very happy to announce release 2.0 of GDToolkit, an object-oriented library for handling and drawing graphs.

The new SOLID is a library for collision detection of three-dimensional objects undergoing rigid motion and deformation. SOLID is designed to be used in interactive 3D graphics applications, and is especially suited for collision detection of objects and worlds described in VRML. The objects can be modeled as primitives, such as boxes, cones, cylinders, and spheres, or as complex shapes composed of polytopes (line segments, convex polygons, convex polyhedra). The placement of an object is given either as a sequence of translations, rotations, and nonuniform scalings, or as a 4x4 column-major matrix, that represents an affine transformation, as used in OpenGL. The library is written in standard C++ and relies heavily on STL. Currently it compiles under GNU g++ version 2.8.1 and Visual C++ 5.0. The library has a standard C API and can be linked to both C and C++ applications. The source code and documentation is released under the terms of the GNU Library General Public License.

It looks like a typical CAD problem, byt I can't find either literature about this topic either any publicly available source code. The mesh is given as an indexFaceSet (in VRML), that means by the list of points and by the list of tripples of indices, one tripple for one triangle. The triangles are counter-clockwise oriented (their normal is directed out from the surface). The created contours have to be also oriented - counter-clockwise for the surface and clockwise for the holes (the inner part of object is on the left-hand side of the contour. The original mesh has been created by contour tiling - i.e. the major number of triangles have one edge parallel to the cutting plane. But there are mesh nodes (X) between the original cross-sections also, and they complicate the slicing. Simple slicing between planes which doesn't go through the (X) points looks simple - I need to compute two intersections of two triangle edges and then connect the segments into contours. The edge is shared by exactly two triangles and the segment connectivity computation is simple. But the singular cases exist, when the cross-section goes through the (X) mesh node. More triangles complicates the intersection computations and the problem of detection of the segment connectivity.

Given a raster image I, and a | linear transformation T, to compute the new image T(I). The geometric part of this problem has no open problems that I know of, but there are issues related to top-quality filtering (reconstruction, sampling, and antialiasing) that raise some open problems in multidimensional signal processing. One such question: What is the ideal filter to use when resampling a transformed raster image while minimizing aliasing? I addressed this question in Fundamentals of Texture Mapping and Image Warping, Paul Heckbert, Master's thesis, UCB/CSD 89/516, CS Division, U.C. Berkeley, June 1989. http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~ph and answered it, I believe, for one definition of "ideal", but I have seen surprisingly little discussion of this problem elsewhere -- most people have apparently satisfied themselves with special case solutions for the cases of downsampling and upsampling (scaling a picture down and up, respectively). There are some other interesting signal processing questions associated with the multipass algorithms for performing affine transformations on images, e.g. the 2-pass and 3-pass algorithms, respectively, of: Catmull & Smith, 3-D Transformations of Images in Scanline Order, Proc. SIGGRAPH '80, 1980 Alan W. Paeth, A Fast Algorithm for General Raster Rotation, Graphics Interface '86, May 1986 i.e. how to do the filtering in these algorithms with highest quality results. ------------- The compgeom mailing lists: see http://netlib.bell-labs.com/netlib/compgeom/readme.html or send mail to compgeom-request@research.bell-labs.com with the line: send readme From compgeom-owner@research.bell-labs.com Fri Sep 11 22:56:17 1998 Return-Path: Received: from dirty.research.bell-labs.com (dirty.research.bell-labs.com [204.178.16.6]) by taurus.math.tau.ac.il (8.8.3/8.8.3) with SMTP id WAA10800; Fri, 11 Sep 1998 22:56:12 +0200 (GMT+0200) Received: from netlib2.cs.bell-labs.com ([135.104.9.27]) by dirty; Fri Sep 11 16:52:47 EDT 1998 Received: from research.research.bell-labs.com by netlib2; Fri Sep 11 14:33:02 EDT 1998 Received: from dusty.research.bell-labs.com ([135.104.2.7]) by research; Fri Sep 11 14:32:52 EDT 1998 Received: from mailfw1.ford.com ([136.1.1.26]) by dusty; Fri Sep 11 14:32:51 EDT 1998 Received: by mailfw1.ford.com id OAA12196 (InterLock SMTP Gateway 3.0 for compgeom-discuss@research.bell-labs.com); Fri, 11 Sep 1998 14:32:50 -0400 Message-Id: <199809111832.OAA12196@mailfw1.ford.com> Received: by mailfw1.ford.com (Internal Mail Agent-1); Fri, 11 Sep 1998 14:32:50 -0400 Date: Fri, 11 Sep 1998 14:32:50 -0400 (EDT) From: Alex Wang To: compgeom-discuss@research.bell-labs.com Cc: mewang@engin.umich.edu Subject: Literature on boolean operations for 2D objects Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Precedence: bulk Status: RO Content-Length: 501 Lines: 19 Hi, everyone, Can anyone kindly point me to literature on the boolean operations (intersection, union, difference, etc.) for 2D free-form objects?

It is a reality as of September 15th. See the announcement below from Joe Halpern. I encourage you all to visit http://xxx.lanl.gov/archive/cs/intro.html and start posting your papers to the archive. Note that "computational geometry" has its own subject area, just as we requested as a result of the business meeting discussion. ========================================================================== Annoucing A Computing Research Repository Researchers have made their papers available by putting them on personal web pages, departmental pages, and on various ad hoc sites known only to cognoscenti. Until now, there has not been a single repository to which researchers from the whole field of computing can submit reports. This is about to change. Through a partnership of ACM, the Los Alamos e-Print archive, and NCSTRL (Networked Computer Science Technical Reference Library), an online Computing Research Repository (CoRR) is being established. The Repository has been integrated into the collection of over 20,000 computer science research reports and other material available through NCSTRL (http://www.ncstrl.org) and will be linked with the ACM Digital Library. Most importantly, the Repository will be available to all members of the community at no charge. We encourage you to start using the Repository right away. For more details, see http://xxx.lanl.gov/archive/cs/intro.html. That site provides information on how to submit documents, browse, search, and subscribe to get notification of new articles of interest. Please spread the word among your colleagues and students. CoRR will only gain in value as more researchers use it. See http://www.acm.org/repository for a more detailed description of CoRR. ========================================================================== ------------- The compgeom mailing lists: see http://netlib.bell-labs.com/netlib/compgeom/readme.html or send mail to compgeom-request@research.bell-labs.com with the line: send readme From compgeom-owner@research.bell-labs.com Fri Sep 18 19:24:15 1998 Return-Path: Received: from dirty.research.bell-labs.com (dirty.research.bell-labs.com [204.178.16.6]) by taurus.math.tau.ac.il (8.8.3/8.8.3) with SMTP id TAA28074; Fri, 18 Sep 1998 19:24:09 +0200 (GMT+0200) Received: from netlib2.cs.bell-labs.com ([135.104.9.27]) by dirty; Fri Sep 18 13:23:13 EDT 1998 Received: from research.research.bell-labs.com by netlib2; Fri Sep 18 10:31:06 EDT 1998 Received: from dusty.research.bell-labs.com ([135.104.2.7]) by research; Fri Sep 18 10:29:24 EDT 1998 Received: from engsci.engga.uwo.ca ([129.100.222.11]) by dusty; Fri Sep 18 10:29:23 EDT 1998 Received: from sgi46.engga.uwo.ca by engsci.engga.uwo.ca with SMTP id KAA28347; Fri, 18 Sep 1998 10:31:46 -0400 (EDT) Received: from localhost by sgi46.engga.uwo.ca with SMTP id KAA02181; Fri, 18 Sep 1998 10:31:17 -0400 Date: Fri, 18 Sep 1998 10:31:16 -0400 (EDT) From: "John Dickinson X-Sender: dickijk@sgi46.engga.uwo.ca To: "compgeom-discuss Subject: Numerical recipes in ????? | Graphic Gems Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Precedence: bulk Status: RO Content-Length: 1504 Lines: 37 Dear All, I know this isn't exactly what the people on the list do but I didn't know who else to ask. Can anyone make any suggestions for books in the style of Numerical Recipes in ??? for engineers like myself who often find themselves doing computational number crunching as well as computational geometry. I have an old copy of the Numerical Recipes in C but it is time to get a new one. I would like a book that would also provide a more object orientated approach to problems where it would help and would be a little more indepth on optimization but doesn't overwhelm me with theorems of convergency etc. Basically I need a application/use orientated book which discusses strength and weeknesses of algorithms and application areas and gives me references to more advanced literature if I need to pursue the theory ion more depth. What would be the closest equivalent book for Computational Geometry? Would it be the Graphics Gems series?

We invite submissions that address applications of geometric computing, for the applied track, or fundamental problems of geometric computing, for the theoretical track. During the conference, sessions of presentations will alternate between the two tracks, rather than being in parallel. The proceedings, with the papers of both tracks, will be distributed at the symposium and will subsequently be available for purchase from ACM. A selection of papers will be invited to special issues of journals. The conference will accept electronic submissions of postscript files; guidelines will be available via the conference homepage, given above. Topics for the applied track include, but are not limited to experimental analysis of algorithms and data structures; robotics and virtual worlds; computer graphics, simulation and visualization; image processing; geometric and solid modeling; computer aided geometric design; manufacturing; geographical information systems. Electronic submissions are preferred, but authors may instead mail 14 copies of an extended abstract to arrive by December 4, 1998 to: John Canny Computer Science Division 529 Soda Hall Berkeley, CA 94720-1776 Phone: (510) 642-9955 jfc@cs.berkeley.edu Topics for the theoretical track include, but are not limited to: theoretical analysis of geometric algorithms and data structures; discrete and combinatorial geometry; mathematical and numerical issues arising from implementations. Electronic submissions are preferred, but authors may instead mail 8 copies of an extended abstract to arrive by December 4, 1998 to: Marshall Bern Xerox PARC 3333 Coyote Hill Road Palo Alto, CA 94304-1314 Phone: (650) 812-4443 bern@parc.xerox.com Important Dates December 4, 1998: Extended abstract due, both tracks February 13, 1999: Video submissions due February 15, 1999: Notification of acceptance or rejection of papers March 1, 1999: Notification of acceptance or rejection of videos March 15, 1999: Camera-ready papers due April 15, 1999: Final versions of videos due June 13-16, 1999: Symposium Papers that primarily address practical issues and implementation experience, even if not tied to a particular application domain, should be submitted to the applied track. Papers that primarily prove theorems should be submitted to the theoretical track. Most experimental work should be submitted to the applied track; an exception would be experiments in support of mathematical investigations. Submissions to one track may be forwarded to the other for consideration, unless the authors have explicitly stated interest in one track only. An extended abstract sent to a program committee should begin with a succinct statement of the problems and goals of the paper, the main results, and the significance of the work in the context of previous research. The abstract should provide sufficient detail to allow the program committee to evaluate the validity, quality, and relevance of the contribution. The entire extended abstract should not exceed 10 pages at a reasonable font size. An optional appendix may be included, but this will be used at the program committee's discretion. Abstracts in hard copy must be received by December 4, 1998, or postmarked by November 27 and sent airmail. Electronic submissions are also due December 4. These are firm deadlines: late submissions will not be considered. Authors will be notified of acceptance or rejection by February 15, 1999.

Printed 28 September 1998; shipping as of 2 October 1998. Hardback: ISBN 0521640105, $69.95 (55.00 PST) Paperback: ISBN 0521649765, $29.95 (19.95 PST) Some highlights: 1. 376+xiii pages, 270 exercises, 210 figures, 259 references. 2. Although I've retained the title "...in C," all code has been translated to Java, and both C and Java code is available via links from http://cs.smith.edu/~orourke. 3. A Java Applet permits interactive use of the code. See previous URL. 4. First Edition code improved: Postscript output, more efficient, more robust. 5. New code (see below). 6. Expanded coverage of randomized algorithms, ray-triangle intersection, and other topics (see below). Basic statistics: 1. approx. 50 pages longer 2. 31 new figures. 3. 49 new exercises. 4. 74 new references 5. 4 new programs. New code: 1. To compute the Delaunay triangulation from the 3D hull in O(n^2). 2. To intersect a ray with a triangle. 3. To decide if a point is inside a polyhedron. 4. To compute the convolution (Minkowski sum) of a convex polygon with a general polygon. 5. To generate regularly distributed points on the surface of a sphere. Significant code improvements: 1. Triangulation code now O(n^2) rather than n^3. Uses lists rather than arrays. 2. Graham scan handles collinear points more cleanly. 3. Convex hull in 3D starts with double-covered triangle. Volume determinant computations much faster. Overflow handled better. 4. Segment-segment intersection code handles special cases cleanly. 5. Point-in-polygon code classifies all boundary points correctly. 6. Intersection of convex polygons handles special cases more uniformly. 7. Robot arm configuration more robust. New coverage of these topics: 1. Partition into monotone mountains (for triangulation). 2. Randomized trapezoid decomoposition. 3. Randomized triangulation. 4. The ultimate convex hull algorithm. 5. Randomized 3D hull construction. 6. Twin edge data structure. 7. Furthest-point Voronoi diagram figure. 8. Red-blue matching. 9. Intersection of segment and triangle. 10. Point-in-polyhedron. 11. The Bentley-Ottmann algorithm for intersecting segments. 12. Boolean operations between two polygons. 13. Segment search tree. 14.

One particularly promising application is progressive delivery of 3D geometry across a network (e.g. the Internet) or to a display terminal. Many of the fundamental issues involved in this process center around Computational Geometry and Topology. This special issue is dedicated to applications of Computational Geometry to generate, compress, encode and efficiently use multi-resolution representations of 3-D (or 2-D) geometry, for progressive, and parameter dependent visualization (and more generally, utilization). Topics include, but are not limited to: * Progressive transmission and/or display and view-dependent refinement of 3-D geometry * Automated generation of levels of detail of 3D models * Wavelet-based multi-resolution representation of 3-D geometry * Compression of 3-D geometry * Representations and algorithms for handling topological changes and/or non-manifold topology * Multi-resolution methods and algorithms exploiting levels of detail in Geographic Information Systems (GIS) * Methods For handling very large data sets, and low memory footprint methods * Frameworks for progressively delivering 3-D geometry on the World Wide Web Schedule: Paper submission: December 15, l998 Acceptance/rejection notification: April 1st, l999 Final manuscript submission: May 15, l999 Publication: Fall/Winter 1999 or earlier The guest editors for this issue are: Dr. Andre Gueziec Dr. Gabriel Taubin IBM T.J.Watson Research Center 30 Sawmill River Road Hawthorne, NY 10532 email: {gueziec, taubin}@watson.ibm.com SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS: All submission will be refereed in accordance with the Journal guidelines.

This appears to be similar to other dynamic bin packing problems. There is a limited amount of bandwidth for which multiple aircraft are vying. Further, the bandwidth required for each aircraft may change at unknown intervals. A central controller must inform each aircraft what frequency (and spectrum width) each aircraft may use. The time duration for each allocation may or may not be known. The problem is therefore 2 dimensional in that there are both spectrum and time dimensions. Although there are certainly no guarantees, there is some potential for a grant to research this topic.=20 Further queries may be made to: Charles H.

We invite submissions that address applications of geometric computing, for the applied track, or fundamental problems of geometric computing, for the theoretical track. During the conference, sessions of presentations will alternate between the two tracks, rather than being in parallel. The proceedings, with the papers of both tracks, will be distributed at the symposium and will subsequently be available for purchase from ACM. A selection of papers will be invited to special issues of journals. The conference will accept electronic submissions of postscript files; guidelines will be available via the conference homepage, given above. Topics for the applied track include, but are not limited to experimental analysis of algorithms and data structures; robotics and virtual worlds; computer graphics, simulation and visualization; image processing; geometric and solid modeling; computer aided geometric design; manufacturing; geographical information systems. Electronic submissions are preferred, but authors may instead mail 14 copies of an extended abstract to arrive by December 4, 1998 to: John Canny Computer Science Division 529 Soda Hall Berkeley, CA 94720-1776 Phone: (510) 642-9955 jfc@cs.berkeley.edu Topics for the theoretical track include, but are not limited to: theoretical analysis of geometric algorithms and data structures; discrete and combinatorial geometry; mathematical and numerical issues arising from implementations.

Papers that primarily prove theorems should be submitted to the theoretical track. Most experimental work should be submitted to the applied track; an exception would be experiments in support of mathematical investigations. Submissions to one track may be forwarded to the other for consideration, unless the authors have explicitly stated interest in one track only. An extended abstract sent to a program committee should begin with a succinct statement of the problems and goals of the paper, the main results, and the significance of the work in the context of previous research. The abstract should provide sufficient detail to allow the program committee to evaluate the validity, quality, and relevance of the contribution. The entire extended abstract should not exceed 10 pages at a reasonable font size. An optional appendix may be included, but this will be used at the program committee's discretion. Abstracts in hard copy must be received by December 4, 1998, or postmarked by November 27 and sent airmail. Electronic submissions are also due December 4. These are firm deadlines: late submissions will not be considered. Authors will be notified of acceptance or rejection by February 15, 1999.

Best wishes, The organizing committee at HKUST (dimacswac@cs.ust.hk) ----------------------------------------------------------- DIMACS-HKUST Far-East Workshop on Algorithms and Combinatorics http://www.cs.ust.hk/tcsc/dimacs.html As part of their recent cooperation agreement, DIMACS and the Theoretical Computer Science Center at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology are co-sponsoring a workshop from December 18-20, 1998 at HKUST. The goal of this workshop is to foster greater communication and collaboration between DIMACS and algorithm researchers in Asia. Its focus will be on algorithms, combinatorics and the interplay between them. Two types of talks are planned; extended surveys by seven distinguished invited speakers and shorter presentations by the attendees describing their current research. In addition, there will be open problem sessions. The workshop is deliberately planned in such a way that participants can combine it with ISAAC'98 in Korea.

Currently the group has several openings for PhD students. We seek both students who want to do experimental research as well as students who are interested in theoretical research. Possible projects include, but are not limited to: * MOCCAM: Moving Objects in Complex CAD Models The goal of the MOCCAM project is to develop algorithmic techniques for motion support in CAD models, that is, the CAD system should be able to answer questions about the feasibility of motions of objects through the model. Such functionality is important for, for example, maintenance and replacement operations. The approach will be based on the probabilistic path planner, a technique developed for robot motion planning. Depending on the applicant, research in this project can be more theoretical or more experimental. * Algorithmic Techniques for Computer-Generated Forces. This is a joint project with TNO-FEL, one of the laboratories of the Netherlands Organization for Applied Scientific Research (TNO). The goal of the project is to develop, analyze, and implement and test algorithms to support computer-generated forces, that is, computer simulations of real forces to be used for the training of military personnel. The project will focus on algorithms for geometric problems such as path planning, visibility computations, and collision detection. This project has a clear experimental component. * Fundamental Problems in Computational Geometry Besides the two project above, there are also possibilities for PhD students interested in `pure' computational geometry. Possible topics are: kinetic data structures (where one studies geometric data structures for moving objects), realistic input models (where one studies computational geometry problems under certain restrictive assumptions on the input), or visibility problems. Candidates should preferably have an MSc in computer science, and a firm background in algorithms. Students with an MSc in mathematics will also be considered if they have sufficient background in computer science. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ====================== THE APPLIED ALGORITHMS GROUP The Applied Algorithms group is headed by prof. Mark Overmars. The other staff members of the group are: dr Mark de Berg, dr Marc van Kreveld, dr Twan Maintz, dr Frank van der Stappen, dr Dirk Thierens, and dr Remco Veltkamp. In addition, there are currently eight PhD students, two postdocs, and two scientific programmers. The main theme of the group is computational geometry and its application to areas like robotics, geographical information systems, computer vision, and computer graphics and virtual reality. Besides that, research is performed on medical image analysis and on evolutionary computing. BEING A PhD STUDENT IN THE NETHERLANDS In the Netherlands, every PhD student gets paid a salary; no additional grants are needed. Moreover, although PhD students sometimes take courses, there is no minimum requirement. Hence, PhD students are more like employees than like students. Indeed, the Dutch word for PhD student translates to "research trainee". The work of a PhD student includes assisting in courses of the undergaduate program of the department. This amounts to at most 20% of the time; the remaining time is spent on research and research-related activities. INTERESTED? =========== If you want to know more about the possibilities of becoming a PhD student in the Applied Algorithms group at Utrecht University, please contact dr Mark de Berg (markdb@cs.uu.nl).

After calculating the curve I would like to be able to interpolate points along that curve at an approximate frequency of 10 new nodes to 1 old node. Optionally I would like to calculate these new nodes at set distances along the curve - perhaps calculated by intersecting a curve with the B-spline. Does anyone have an algorithm to do this without resorting to calculus - I would like some simple code to achieve this. Is this the correct list to ask such a question? Ideally I want to write a stand alone module in VisualBASIC to achieve this without having to resort to other numerical libraries.

We invite high-quality submissions in the following areas: * geometric algorithms or combinatorial geometry, for the theoretical track, or * implementation issues or applications of computational geometry, for the applied track. The proceedings, with the papers of both tracks, will be distributed at the symposium and will subsequently be available for purchase from ACM. A selection of papers will be invited to special issues of journals. During the conference, sessions of presentations will alternate between the two tracks, rather than being in parallel. Topics for the theoretical track include, but are not limited to design and theoretical analysis of geometric algorithms and data structures; lower bounds for geometric problems; and discrete and combinatorial geometry. Topics for the applied track include, but are not limited to experimental analysis of algorithms and data structures; mathematical and numerical issues arising from implementations; and novel uses of computational geometry in other disciplines, such as robotics, computer graphics, geometric and solid modeling, manufacturing, and geographical information systems. See below for additional information on the two tracks. Theoretical Track Submission Electronic submissions are preferred for the theoretical track (see web page above for instructions), but authors may instead mail 8 copies of an extended abstract to arrive by December 6, 1999 to Pankaj K. Agarwal Department of Computer Science LSRC Building, Rm D207 Duke University Durham, NC 27706 Phone: (919) 660-6540 pankaj@cs.duke.edu Applied Track Submission Electronic submissions are preferred for the applied track (see web page above for instructions), but authors may instead mail 11 copies of an extended abstract to arrive by December 6, 1999 to Steven Fortune Room 2c459 Bell Laboratories 600 Mountain Avenue Murray Hill, NJ 07974 Phone: (908) 582-7042 sjf@research.bell-labs.com Important Dates December 6, 1999: Papers due, both tracks February 13, 2000: Video submissions due February 15, 2000: Notification of acceptance or rejection of papers March 1, 2000: Notification of acceptance or rejection of videos March 15, 2000: Camera-ready papers due April 15, 2000: Final versions of videos due June 12-14, 2000: Symposium Papers that primarily address practical issues and implementation experience, even if not tied to a particular application domain, should be submitted to the applied track. Papers that primarily prove theorems should be submitted to the theoretical track. Most experimental work should be submitted to the applied track; an exception would be experiments in support of mathematical investigations. Submissions to one track may be forwarded to the other for consideration, unless the authors have explicitly stated interest in one track only. Papers should be submitted in the form of an extended abstract. Papers should begin with the title of the paper, each author's name, affiliation, and e-mail address, followed by a succinct statement of the problems and goals that are considered in the paper, the main results achieved, the significance of the work in the context of previous research, and a comparison to past research. The abstract should provide sufficient detail to allow the program committee to evaluate the validity, quality, and relevance of the contribution. The entire extended abstract should not exceed 10 pages, using 11 point or larger font and with at least one-inch margins all around. For cases in which the authors consider it absolutely essential to include additional technical details that do not fit into 10 pages, these details may be added in a clearly marked appendix that should appear after the body of the paper and the references; this appendix will not be regarded as a part of the submission and will be considered only at the program committee's discretion. Abstracts in hard copy must be received by December 6, 1999, or postmarked by November 29 and sent airmail. Abstracts in electronic form are due by December 6, 5:00 PM EST. These are firm deadlines: late submissions will not be considered. Authors will be notified of acceptance or rejection by February 15, 2000. A full version of each contribution in final form will be due by March 15, 2000 for inclusion in the proceedings.

The input consists of general, pairwise disjoint objects (e.g. lines, axis parallel boxes, polygons, segments). Shute, Deneen, Thomborson (Algorithmica (1991) 6: 207-221) gave an O(n logn) Plane-Sweep Algorithm for Delaunay Triangulations for L_max-norm for single points. Since there exists an isometric between L1 and L_max (equivalence under 45 rotation), this algorithm solves the problem for single points in L1 as well. This algorithm does not apply for more general objects. Recently, Papadopoulou and Lee gave an algorithm for determing the L_max-Voronoi diagram for arbitrary segments which could be applied to the L1 case. Although their algorithm is very elegant, it has two disadvantages for my purposes, unfortuntely: 1. It calculates the Voronoi diagram instead of Delaunay Triangulation (which could be retrieved afterwards from the Voronoi diagram). So I hope there is a DIRECT way to get a triangulation (e.g. see algorithm by Shute, Deneen, Thomborson for single points). 2. The algorithm is rather difficult and probably too slow in practice. (Practice means here: Input of about 100000 or more objects) So I've implemented a heuristic which discretizes all objects into a set of single points (depending on a given parameter) and applies the algorithm by Shute, Deneen, Thomborson to these points. The better (smaller) the parameter (width) is the better is the result. Nevertheless, it is a heuristic and the triangulation depends largely upon the choosen parameter. If the number of objects is very large and the width is choosen to be very small, memory problems occur because of the large number of discretized points. Therefore, I'm looking for an algorithm which gives an L1-Delaunay Triangulation for general objects. Suggestions and references are very welcome. Thank you in advance.

Applicants should have a degree in mathematics, computer science, or a related area equivalent to the German or Swiss university diploma (e.g. M.S.) with grades significantly above average. Furthermore at each location a postdoctoral position is available for at most two years. The program is a joint initiative of the ETH Zurich, the three universities of Berlin - Free University, Technical University, Humboldt-University - and the Konrad-Zuse-Research Center. The German partners are financially suppor- ted by the German Research association (Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft, DFG). The amount of the scholarships in Berlin is calculated according to the guidelines of the DFG and is up to DM 2690 per month, tax free (family supplement DM 400). The scientific program ranges from theoretical fundamentals to applications. The areas of research are combinatorics, geometry, optimization, algorithms and computation, computer graphics, and vision. In Berlin the students are supervised by the professors Aigner, Alt, Rote, Schulz (FU), Moehring, Zieg- ler (TU), Proemel (HU) and Groetschel (ZIB).

We are committed to educating graduates and producing research to meet South Africa's challenging needs in information technology. South Africa is in the process of political change. The government is re-evaluating tertiary education, and initial reports indicate tertiary education is regarded as a high priority. With a changing South Africa the department sees a need to look ahead. We are looking for staff who can help us develop the research aspect of our department. In exchange we offer a vibrant environment and an opportunity to contribute to a country at an important stage of its development. We now have 10 academic staff members, and we wish to appoint up to 3 new staff members, in order to expand our research and teaching roles. We would like new appointees at senior level to add strength of leadership to existing research areas, but applicants from all areas of computer science are welcomed and this could provide an opportunity for a motivated researcher to develop their own research interests. Applicants could be appointed at any one of the levels described below. Which and how many posts are filled will depend on the applicants and the seniority at which they are appointed. Please indicate which position/s you would like to be considered for when applying. We are committed to equal opportunities, and for all posts, we encourage black, women and disabled applicants. Senior Lecturer/Lecturer: ======================== These are tenure-track positions and successful applicants will be expected to teach at undergraduate and postgraduate levels, undertake research and perform departmental administration. Applicants for the senior lectureship should hold a PhD in computer science, have completed some post-doctoral research and have teaching experience. Applicants for the lectureship should hold a PhD in computer science (or be able to provide objective evidence that they will complete their PhD by the time they take up the post). Applicants should also be able to demonstrate ability to teach a range of computer science courses. A lectureship is a suitable entry-level position for a new PhD. Senior Tutor: ============ This is a tenure track position, and a successful applicant will be expected to teach undergraduate courses, and play an important role in academic and curriculum development. The successful applicant should have an honours degree in computer science. A higher degree and/or a teaching qualification and/or experience will be a recommendation. The successful applicant will be encouraged to undertake research in computer science or computer science education. Tutor/Junior Lecturer: ===================== This is an affirmative action/development position, and we will favour applicants from under-represented groups in the field. The successful applicant will have an honours degree in computer science. This person will be expected to participate in the teaching of the department, and an important objective of the post is to give a person with potential the opportunity to pursue a higher degree and gain teaching and research experience. This is a three-year contract post. For senior lecturer or lecturer posts, we would prefer someone who will strengthen one of our current research interests (see below), but the primary criteria will be the quality and potential of the applicant. The tutor/junior lecturer must be prepared to pursue their higher degree in one of the research areas of the department. Please direct any inquiries about any aspects of these posts, or the department, to Conrad Mueller --- conrad@cs.wits.ac.za Further information about the department can be found at http://www.cs.wits.ac.za/ ======================================================================== Context: ------- The University of the Witwatersrand is one of the top universities in South Africa. It prides itself on its standards and is internationally recognized. The University is located in Johannesburg, the biggest city in Southern Africa, and is thus strategically positioned in the industrial heartland of South Africa. This makes it an exciting and stimulating situation in which to work. The Department of Computer Science is in the Mathematical Sciences subject area. We are also presently involved in building an umbrella body with the other IT departments at Wits -- the Department of Electrical Engineering and the Department of Information Systems. The Department has a governing committee consisting of three members of the Department which reports directly to the Dean of the Science Faculty. There are 10 academic posts in the department, with three technical support officers, an administrator and a secretary. The department is well equipped with both PC and Mac labs for undergraduates which are networked to the internet and a UNIX server, and an SGI lab for postgraduate students. We see teaching as an important function of the department and all academic members of staff are expected to be able to teach a range of mainstream computer science topics. The department has a strong undergraduate programme, teaching only courses directed at students majoring in computer science. The undergraduate curriculum is based on the ACM/IEEE guidelines for computer science, and regularly undergoes re-evaluation. Many of our students have gone on to become respected members of the academic and business communities worldwide. The department teaches: a first year course of 200 students, a second year course of 80 students, a third year course of 70 students, an honours course of 15-25 students, and 3 to 5 higher degree students start each year. Undergraduate students register for a Bachelor of Science Degree, which has a flexible course structure. The department has always been very conscious of its role in South African society. A challenge the department is faced with is teaching students with widely differing school qualifications, which includes students from deprived educational backgrounds; empathy for these students is important. We are very proud of our achievements in developing what we believe is an outstanding undergraduate and honours degree course. The emphasis has been on trying to address the racial imbalances resulting from the historical problems in our society and at the same time maintaining excellence. The department has been innovative in this aspect; we consider ourselves to be leaders in the country in this regard and have received international recognition. As one of the leading universities in South Africa we feel that we are in an ideal position to develop our research. In addition, our location in the industrial heartland provides largely untapped opportunities to develop valuable research partnerships with industry and commerce. The Department would benefit greatly from such partnership: experience in setting up joint research projects will be one of the criteria used in selecting the candidates. We are currently initiating programmes to coordinate joint research and to support higher degree students. Recently we have put increased effort into developing our postgraduate programme. We have a thriving research programme focused on aspects of dependable computing. Staff members are also involved in a number of other areas of research -- machine learning, computational geometry, robotics, computer science education, formal methods, verification, concurrency, process algebras, image processing, pattern recognition, etc. Please direct any informal inquiries to Conrad Mueller, conrad@cs.wits.ac.za who is the current chair of the governing committee.

Randolph Franklin) Date: Thu, 23 Sep 1999 20:38:29 -0400 Sender: wrf@benvolio.ecse.rpi.edu Precedence: bulk Status: RO Content-Length: 2310 Lines: 61 This is to announce my latest program, CONNECT, which finds the connected components in a 3-D rectangular volume of binary voxels (the universe). For each component, CONNECT writes its volume, surface area, and voxels (grouped into runs). CONNECT can do both 6-connectivity and 26-connectivity. CONNECT is very space- and time-efficient. E.g., processing one test volume of size 544x544x512, which has 151,519,232 voxels, about 1/2 empty, to find the 534,723 6-connected components, takes only 50 seconds of CPU and 45MB of virtual memory on a 233MHz Pentium with Linux and g++. The time for any particular case depends on the data complexity, e.g., number of input runs and output components. The worst 6-connectivity case would be to have alternating voxels full and empty. CONNECT could easily be extended to 4D volumes, if there was an application. It does 2D areas as a trivial subcase. A 1x1024x1024 input is processed in under 1 second, with setup overhead being most of that time. I predict that CONNECT could process a 1024x1024x1024 universe in 10 CPU minutes, depending its complexity, tho the virtual memory might page badly. Does anyone have any real test data? My confidence in CONNECT's correctness is based upon rotating the large test case around the grand diagonal, rerunning CONNECT, and sorting and comparing the output statistics of the components' volumes and areas. The results are identical. I am the author of CONNECT. You may use it for non-profit research and education. You must make appropriate acknowledgements.
