                               CALL FOR VIDEOS 
               10th Annual Video Review of Computational Geometry  
                           to be presented at the 

                     Seventeenth Annual Symposium on
                           Computational Geometry 
                             June 3--5, 2001 
                 Tufts University, Medford, Massachusetts

Videos are sought for a video review of computational geometry.
 
BACKGROUND:  This video review showcases the use of visualization in computational 
geometry for exposition and education, as an interface and a debugging tool in 
software development, and for the visual exploration of geometry in research. 
Algorithm animations, visual explanations of structural theorems, descriptions of 
applications of computational geometry, and demonstrations of software systems are 
all appropriate. Videos that accompany papers or communications submitted to the 
technical program committee are encouraged.
 
SUBMISSIONS:  Authors should send one preview copy of a videotape to the address 
below by *****FEBRUARY 13, 2001******. The videotape should be at most eight minutes 
long (three to five minutes, preferred), and be in VHS NTSC or VHS PAL format.

Each video tape must be accompanied by a one- or two-page description of the material
shown in the video, and where applicable, the techniques used in the implementation.
Please format descriptions following the guidelines for ACM proceedings.  Additional 
material describing the contents of the videos, such as the full text of accompanying 
papers, may also be included.

Textual material may be submitted electronically by e-mailing either the URL of a 
PostScript file (preferred) or the PostScript file itself to <dm at cs.unc.edu>.  If 
electronic submission is impossible, authors should include five hardcopies of the 
accompanying text with their video.
 
Videotapes and accompanying text should be sent to
  
        Dinesh Manocha  
        Department of Computer Science  
        University of North Carolina   
        Chapel Hill, NC 27599-3175  USA  
        Phone: (919) 962-1749; Email: dm at cs.unc.edu
  
For customs purposes, it is best to declare a value of $5. 
If you have questions, please contact the committee chair.

  
NOTIFICATION: Authors will be notified of acceptance or rejection, and given 
reviewers' comments by March 1, 2001.  For each accepted video, the final version 
of the textual description will be due by March 15, 2001 for inclusion in the 
proceedings. Final versions of accepted videos will be due April 15, 2001 in the 
best format available. The accepted videos will be edited onto one tape, which 
will be shown at the conference and will be distributed to the participants.
