To stimulate the interaction between these two communities, the two events have been scheduled one after the other in 2004, as part of the Convention on Shapes and Solids (SMI&SM04) which will be held in Genova, Italy. The symposium will be followed by the International School on Computational Methods for Shape Modeling and Analysis. It is meant for PhD, PostDoc or researchers with either a computer science, informatics or mathematics background, and prior knowledge of geometric modeling techniques. It will focus on different aspects of shape modeling, processing and analysis, and the final programme will include training on the most up-to-date topics of the field. Convention and school program/schedules can be found at: http://smism04.ge.imati.cnr.it LOCATION OF THE CONVENTION: The Convention will be located in the beautiful Palazzo Ducale, the main ancient seat of power of the Republic of Genova and the Doge's residence. The Sala del Maggior Consiglio will provide a wonderful background for the SMI&SM04 events. The SMI&SM04 reception will be organized in the Acquarium of Genova, and will include a guided tour of the Acquarium and a dinner in the Dolphin and Shark Halls. Views of the location are available at: http://smism04.ge.imati.cnr.it/location.html Please, note that Genova will be the European capital of Culture for the year 2004 and the programme organized for this reason is very dense of events. Therefore, we strongly reccommend to proceed with hotel booking as soon as possible.A limited number of rooms are available and guaranteed until April 30!

Gavrilova, University of Calgary marina@cpsc.ucalgary.ca The International Workshop on Modeling and Simulation in Biometric Technology (BT'2004) is an international forum to promote research and exchange ideas about all aspects of modeling and simulation of biometric information. The Workshop encourages early dissemination of ideas and results in this area. The goals of the BT'2004 Workshop, therefore, are to tackle the problems of modeling and simulation in BT from different directions. We plan to discuss the new projects and collaboration on new generation of BT devices. With this respect, we invite specialists and managers from the leading BT institutions and BT industry. Topics of interest include hardware/software development, behavioral BT, architectural problems, education and security. Topics include, but are not limited to: - Computational methods for modeling and simulation - Image processing, recognition and authentication methods - Biometric technologies and artificial intelligence - Optimization problems in analyzing, modeling, and simulation of biometric information - Algorithms and support for analyzis and synthesis of B-information - Database maintenance - Benchmark verification, including testing based on imitation of B-information Booklets with the accepted papers are distributed to only BT2004 Workshop participants. Full version of the selected papers will be invited for publication in the textbook "Advanced Biometric Technology: Modeling and Simulation" (Kluwer Publishers). Submission. Only electronic submissions will be accepted. See http://www.enel.ucalgary.ca/BT2004 for paper submission details. Authors may submit extended abstracts for their proposed presentation (including video submission) that must be no less than 1000 words and no greater than 2500 words (i.e. 5 pages double column, 10 pt font). We especially encourage submissions of the results of the early stages of research, which may highlight important new problems without providing all details. ------------- The compgeom mailing lists: see http://netlib.bell-labs.com/netlib/compgeom/readme.html or send mail to compgeom-request@research.bell-labs.com with the line: send readme Now archived at http://www.uiuc.edu/~sariel/CG/compgeom/maillist.html.

Abstracting and studying the geometry problems that underly important applications of computing (such as geographic information systems, computer-aided design, simulation, robotics, solid modeling, databases, and graphics) leads not only to new mathematical results, but also to improvements in these applications. Despite its international following, CCCG maintains the informality of a smaller workshop and attracts a large number of students. Call for Papers Authors are invited to submit papers describing research of theoretical and practical significance to computational geometry. Electronic submissions, in standard PostScript and not exceeding 4 pages length, should be made from the conference web page. Invited Speakers Timothy Chan, University of Waterloo Piotr Indyk, MIT Marc van Kreveld, Utrecht University Special Issues The program committee will invite the authors of a selection of the accepted papers to submit a final version to a special issue of either International Journal on Computational Geometry and Applications, or Computational Geometry: Theory and Applications. These papers will go through a full refereeing process for the respective journal.

Message-ID: <16518.35519.13682.50783@hapert.cs.uu.nl> Dear Computational Geometers, It seems that Geombib is dying; the last update dates back to August 17, 2002. I think it would be a terrible waste of effort and a loss of a valuable tool if we would let it die. I tried to contact Bill Jones (at jones@cs.usask.ca), offering my assistance in case he had no time for Geombib anymore, but didn't get a response. In fact, he is no longer listed as a faculty of the CS department of the University of Saskatchewan, and I didn't manage to find his new whereabouts through Google. I would volunteer to revive Geombib, but I'm hesitating to do so without Joe's consent. Does anyone know if he's still working in academia, or where he can be reached? Should I just go ahead if he can't be located? Maybe the Steering Committee could give their opinion in this matter.
