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 symposium is a forum for researchers, practitioners, developers and users working on all aspects of computational geometry. The list of papers to be presented at the conference is available on our web site at http://cgm.cs.mcgill.ca/cccg98. There is no registration fee. However, we ask that you register as soon as possible if you are attending, as we are planning a welcoming dinner-reception. In addition, we will be printing only as many copies of the proceedings as we have registrants. Registration is available online on our web site at http://cgm.cs.mcgill.ca/cccg98 CCCG '98 precedes the 6th Annual Symposium on Graph Drawing, August 13-15, 1998, also to be held at McGill University.
