                            Call for Papers 
  
                       International Symposium   
                                on  
             Voronoi Diagrams in Science and Engineering  

                        September 13-15, 2004  
              University of Tokyo, Hongo, Tokyo, Japan  

             http://www.simplex.t.u-tokyo.ac.jp/~vd2004/

              Sponsored by the 21st Century COE Program 
         on Information Science and Technology Strategic Core,
                          University of Tokyo


-----------------  
 Goal and Fields  
-----------------  
   The concept of the Voronoi diagram as well as its dual structure, the   
Delaunay diagram, is one of the most fundamental geometric big ideas, and   
has been discovered and re-discovered repeatedly in the history of many   
fields of science and engineering.  This concept has become even more  
important because recent development of computational methods enables us  
to compute large-scale Voronoi diagrams in a robust manner, and consequently  
enables us to apply this idea to practical problems arising in real worlds.  
   The goal of this symposium is to exchange ideas among different   
disciplines and different fields of science and engineering, in particular  
between theoreticians and practitioners and among practitioners in various  
fields of applications, through the common tool "Voronoi/Delaunay diagram",   
and thus to stimulate research activities in an interdisciplinary manner.  
   Expected topics include, but are not restricted to,  

   Theoretical aspects of Voronoi/Delaunay diagrams  
   Computational and implementational aspects of Voronoi/Delaunay diagrams  
   Generalizaion of the Voronoi/Delaunay diagrams  
   Applications of the Voronoi/Delaunay diagrams to  
     Biology  
     Chemistry  
     Physics  
     Material science  
     Geography  
     Location science  
     Geographic information systems  
     Mesh generation  
     Geometric algorithms  
     Solid modeling  
     Computer graphics  
     Pattern analysis and recognition  
     Space analysis  
     Motion analysis and planning  
     Collision detection and avoidance  
     Interpolation  
     Operations research  
     and others

   Notification of the acceptance:  July 1, 2004  
   Final manuscript:                August 10, 2004

---------------------  
 Paper Review Policy  
---------------------  
   The goal of the symposium is to exchange ideas among different 
disciplines and  fields, and hence the research areas will diverge.  
So, we place emphasis on gathering papers from a wide range of 
different research fields.  Therefore, we select papers mainly from 
the viewpoint of relevance of the topics.

 About the 21st Century COE Program on Information
 Science and Technology Strategic Core
---------------------------------------------------
   To forge 21st century information science and technology closely
tuned to future real world needs, a strategic core headquaters has
been positioned in the University of Tokyo, as an organization playing 
a tactical and leading role in promoting research and education in a 
broad range of fields.  This headquaters promotes three major united 
projects: the Real World Information System Project, the Global 
Dependable Information Infrastructure Project, and the Superrobust 
Computation Project.  This symposium is being organized as part of 
the activities of the Superrobust Computation Project.
