From wangjie at uncg.edu Thu Aug 10 11:43:42 2000 From: wangjie at uncg.edu (Jie Wang) Date: Mon Jan 9 13:40:58 2006 Subject: COCOON'01 Call For Papers Message-ID: COCOON'01 CALL FOR PAPERS The 7th Annual International Computing and Combinatorics Conference (COCOON'01) will be held in August 20-22, 2001, in Guilin, China. Original research papers in the areas of theoretical computer science and combinatorics related to computing are solicited. In addition to theoretical results, we are particularly interested in submissions that report on experimental and applied research of general algorithmic interest. Special consideration will be given to research that is motivated by real-world problems. Experimental and applied papers are expected to show convincingly the usefulness and efficiency of the algorithms discussed in a practical setting. Typical, but not exclusive, topics of interest include: Algorithms and data structures; Automata, languages, logic, and computability; Combinatorics related to algorithms and complexity; Complexity theory; Computational algebra, biology, geometry, and number theory; Computational learning theory and knowledge discovery; Cryptography, reliability and security, and database theory; Graph drawing and information visualization; Graph theory, communication networks, and optimization; Parallel and distributed computing; Experimental analysis of algorithms. SUBMISSIONS: COCOON'01 will accept only electronic submissions. For detailed instructions on electronic submissions please check http://sigact.acm.org/~cocoon01/COCOON01.html, or send e-mail to cocoon01@sigact.acm.org with the subject HELP. Each submission should start with the title of the paper, the author's name, affiliation, and e-mail address, and a short abstract summarizing the main results of the paper. This should be followed by a scholarly exposition of the ideas, techniques, and a full description of the results achieved. A clear indication of the motivation and comparison with prior or related work should be presented. The paper should not exceed 10 pages using 11 point or larger font. Submissions that deviate significantly from these guidelines and PostScript submissions that are unprintable or formatted for paper size other than 8.5 x 11 inch paper risk rejection without consideration of their merits. The proceedings of the conference will be published by Springer-Verlag in the Lecture Notes in Computer Science series, and will be available for distribution at the conference. The Hao Wang Award will be given to the paper of the best scientific merit judged by the program committee. The program committee may decline to make the award, or may split it among several papers.

It is available from the JDSL web site http://www.cs.brown.edu/cgc/jdsl/ JDSL 2.0 is a collection of Java interfaces and classes that implement fundamental data structures and algorithms, such as: - sequences, trees, priority queues, search trees, hash tables - sorting and searching algorithms - graphs - graph traversals, shortest path, minimum spanning tree JDSL 2.0 is suitable for use by researchers, professional programmers, educators, and students. It comes with extensive documentation, including detailed javadoc, an overview, a tutorial with seven lessons, and several associated research papers. It is available free of charge for noncommercial use. Commercial licenses are also offered. JDSL 2.0 was developed at the Center for Geometric Computing of Brown University, in collaboration with Algomagic Technologies, Inc. It is based on research and educational work led by Michael Goodrich and Roberto Tamassia. Comments and questions should be addressed to jdsl@cs.brown.edu.

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 To be Announced (Confirmed so far: George Hart, Micha Sharir, 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@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. Program Committee Pankaj K. Agarwal (Duke University), Esther M. Arkin (Stony Brook), Michael A. Bender (Stony Brook), Michael T.
