Dear Colleagues,

I am a faculty member at the University of Calgary, Dept. of Computer
Science, and organizing for the second year the International Workshop on
Computational Geometry and Applications. The previous Workshop was quite
successful, with twenty participants and invited guest K. Sugihara. Would
you be so kind and distribute the second CFP for the next year Workshop in
Amsterdam, the Netherlands, April 21-24th to your colleagues and graduate
students?

This year, we plan to have two tracks, one on applied and another on
theoretical computational geometry. Proceedings will be published by LNCS,
Springer-Verlag. This year we also have a Best Student Paper Award for the
best paper submitted to CGA'02 Workshop. More information can be found in
the attached CFP.

Hope this was a good year for you, and please don't hesitate to contact me
if you have need more information.

Thank you very much for your time,

Marina

Workshop Description
---------------------

The Workshop, held for the second year in conjunction with the International
Conference on Computational Science, is intended as an international forum
for researchers in all areas of computational geometry.  Submissions of
papers presenting a high-quality original research are invited to one of the
two Workshop tracks:

-  theoretical computational geometry
-  implementation issues and applied computational geometry.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

-Algorithmic methods in geometry
-Animation of geometric algorithms
-Lower bounds and algorithm complexity
-Solid modeling
-Geographic information systems
-Computational methodology
-Computer graphics and image processing
-Illumination problems
-Visibility graphs
-Space Partitioning
-Data structures (including Voronoi Diagrams and Delaunay triangulations)
-Geometric computations in parallel and distributed environment
-Mesh generation
-Interpolation and surface reconstruction
-Spatial and terrain analysis
-Computer graphics and image processing
-Computational methods in manufacturing
-Applications in molecular biology, granular mechanics,
 computational physics, oceanography.
-Robotics
-Path planning
-CAD/CAM
-Implementation issues


Submissions in other related areas will also be considered. The design and
implementation of geometric algorithms in parallel and distributed
environments, and applications in mechanics, physics and biology, are of
special interest.

Proceedings
----------------

Proceedings of the Workshop will be published in the
Springer-Verlag Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) series. The
proceedings will also be available separately for purchase from
Springer-Verlag (proceedings of the previous Workshop on Computational
Geometry and Applications appeared in LNCS vol. 2073). A selection of papers
from the Workshop will be invited to special issues of journals, including
the Journal of Supercomputing (Kluwer publisher) and Future Generation
Computer Systems (Elsevier).


Best Student Paper Award and Travel Grant
-----------------------------------------

This year, a best student paper will be selected for a Best Student Paper
Award. This award will be available exclusively to CGA'02 participants.
A paper is eligible if at least one of its authors is a full or part-time
student at the time of submission.

Author of the paper submitted to CGA'02 will be also eligible to apply for
Travel Grant, provided by ICCS'02 sponsors. The ICCS'02 program committee
may decline to make the award, or may split it among more than one
participant.

Paper Submission
----------------

We invite you to submit a draft of the paper of up to 10 pages (Letter or
A4) paper. Please include a cover page (in ascii format) which lists the
following:

   - title of the paper
   - list of authors
   - name, affiliation, address and e-mail address of each author
   - name of the contact author
   - preferred track (theoretical or applied track)
   - a maximum of 5 keywords
   - intent to be considered for the Best Student Paper Award (exclusively
for CGA'02 participants)
   - intent to apply for Travel Grant (available for all ICCS'02
participants)

Submissions missing a cover page will not be considered.
The submission must be camera-ready and formatted according to the
rules of LNCS. Electronic submissions in PS, PDF, or LaTex (please also
submit all .eps,  .dvi, and .ps files). MS Word submissions will also be
accepted. Five hard copies of the paper should be mailed only if electronic
submission is not possible.

Each submission will be refereed by at least three referees.
