2nd Call for Papers: Fall CG Workshop

[jsbm at ams.sunysb.edu]

                  SECOND CALL FOR PAPERS

                TENTH ANNUAL FALL WORKSHOP ON
                   COMPUTATIONAL GEOMETRY

                    October 27--28, 2000

** Please send abstracts (by email) for contributed talks by midnight
(New York time), October 3 We will announce the program and accepted
papers by October 10.

** Hotels: Three Village Inn and Danford's have been holding some
rooms for us through this week, at discounted rates, however these may
be expired or filling up fast. See web site for details on how to
contact them.  We hope/expect a block of rooms at the Holiday Inn
Express to become available after October 6. You may want to check
with them next week if they do not have rooms available now.  We
suggest you make hotel reservations ASAP, if you have not done so
already!  (If you have trouble finding space in the 3 closest hotels,
we can suggest some alternatives if you contact us.)

** Grad student accommodations:  As in the past, we hope to have
local grad students host visiting students.  Please email to
cgworkshop at ams.sunysb.edu to request that your name be added to the
list of students to be hosted for free sofa/floorspace accommodations.

** Transportation: Consider flights into Islip (= Long Island
Macarthur airport), if possible.  It is closer to Stony Brook
than JFK or LaGuardia, and is a smaller, more convenient airport.
Southwest Airlines has had some special fares lately.  The airport
has been recently expanded: see http://www.macarthurairport.com/
for details and which carriers fly into it.

                TENTH ANNUAL FALL WORKSHOP ON
                   COMPUTATIONAL GEOMETRY

We are pleased to announce the tenth in a series of annual fall
workshops on Computational Geometry.  This workshop series, founded
under the sponsorship of the Mathematical Sciences Institute (MSI) at
Stony Brook (with funding from the U.S. Army Research Office), has
continued during 1996-1999 under the sponsorship of the Center for
Geometric Computing, a collaborative center of Brown, Duke, and Johns
Hopkins Universities, also funded by the U.S. Army Research Office.

This year, for the tenth in the workshop series, the workshop
returns to the campus of the University at Stony Brook.

Scope and Format

The aim of this workshop is to bring together students and researchers
from academia and industry, to stimulate collaboration on problems of
common interest arising in geometric computations. Topics to be
covered include, but are not limited to:

    Algorithmic methods in geometry
    I/O-scalable geometric algorithms
    Animation of geometric algorithms
    Computer graphics
    Solid modeling
    Geographic information systems
    Computational metrology
    Graph drawing
    Experimental studies
    Geometric data structures
    Implementation issues
    Robustness
    Computer vision
    Robotics
    Computer-aided design
    Mesh generation
    Manufacturing applications of geometry

Following the tradition of the previous workshops on Computational
Geometry, the format of the workshop will be informal, extending over
2 days, with several breaks scheduled for discussions.
There will also be an Open Problem Session in order to promote
a free exchange of questions and research challenges.

We strongly encourage registration in advance, through the workshop
web site; registration can also be completed on-site.  There will be
no registration fee.

Students are especially encouraged to attend and participate!  We
expect to be able to provide free accommodations (couch space, floor
space, etc.) for visiting students with some of Stony Brook's local
graduate student hosts who are taking part in the organization.


Invited speakers

George Hart 
Ari Kaufman: "Volume Graphics"
Micha Sharir:  "Combinatorics of arrangements - recent progress"
Ileana Streinu


Submissions

Authors are invited to submit abstracts for talks to be given at the
workshop. Please send an abstract (up to 2 pages) and a draft of a
paper (if you have one). E-mail submissions are encouraged; send to
cgworkshop at ams.sunysb.edu. Ideally, the abstract should be a PDF, PostScript,
or LaTeX, file, for ease in assembling the abstract booklet. Abstracts
can also be sent by regular mail to:
  
    Joseph Mitchell
    Department of Applied Mathematics and Statistics
    University at Stony Brook
    Stony Brook, NY 11794-3600


Submissions should arrive by October 3, 2000. Authors will be
notified of acceptance by October 10, 2000.

A booklet of abstracts will be distributed at the workshop and made
available electronically on the Web. There will be no formal
proceedings for this workshop.
