Important Dates
---------------
   February 1, 2003: Deadline for paper submission.
   February 21, 2003: Notification of acceptance.
   February 28, 2003: Camera Ready Papers and Pre-registration.

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

The Workshop, held for the third year in a row 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:
-----------------------

- 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 environments
- 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
- Exact computations
- Robotics
- Path planning
- Algorithm Implementation
- CAD/CAM



Submissions in other related areas will also be considered.
The design and implementation of geometric algorithms in parallel and distributed environments, exact computations, 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 Workshops on Computational Geometry and Applications appeared in LNCS vol. 2073, vol. 2329-2331). 

Papers from the Workshop may be invited to special issues of International Journal of Computational Geometry and Applications, Journal of CAD/CAM, Journal of Computational Methods in Sciences and Engineering (JCMSE) and the Journal of Supercomputing (pending agreement).


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'03 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'03 will be also eligible to apply for Travel Grant, provided by ICCSA'03 sponsors. The ICCSA'03 program committee may decline to make the award, or may split it among more than one participant.

Available Financial Assistance 
------------------------------

Author of the paper submitted to CGA'03 will be automatically eligible for assistance, if he belongs to Canadian University, educational institution, government agency or industry. Students enrolled at Canadian institutions are also eligible for a discount of registration fees.  
Paper Submission

Conference fees
----------------
For all details with respect to the conference fees see
