We invite submissions that present significant case studies in experimental analysis (such studies may tighten, extend, or otherwise improve current theoretical results) or in the implementation, testing, and evaluation of algorithms for realistic environments and scenarios, including specific applied areas (including databases, networks, operations research, computational biology and physics, computational geometry, and the world wide web) that present unique challenges in their underlying algorithmic problems. We also invite submissions that address methodological issues and standards in the context of empirical research on algorithms and data structures. The scientific program will include invited talks, contributed research papers, and ample time for discussion and debate of topics in this rapidly evolving research area. A proceedings will be published, and a special issue of the ACM Journal of Experimental Algorithmics will feature invited contributions from the workshop. This workshop is colocated with the 12th Annual ACM-SIAM Symposium on Discrete Algorithms (SODA02), and will take place in the two days preceding that conference. A paper that has been reviewed and accepted for presentation at SODA is not eligible for submission to ALENEX. We recognize, however that some research projects spawn multiple papers that elaborate on different aspects of the work and are willing to respond to inquiries about overlapping papers. The workshop is supported by SIAM, the Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics, and SIGACT, the ACM Special Interest Group on Algorithms and Computation Theory. SUBMISSIONS: Authors are invited to submit 10-page extended abstracts by 5:00 PM EDT, OCTOBER 10, 2001 and must use the SIGACT electronic submissions server.

Message-ID: <200109191923.PAA11505@amirani.ams.sunysb.edu> Dear Fellow Computational Geometers, Please join us in congratulating Joe O'Rourke on being one of the first recipients of NSF's highest honor for excellence in teaching and research -- The Director's Awards for Distinguished Teaching Scholars. See the press announcement at: http://www.nsf.gov/od/lpa/news/press/01/pr0170.htm (some of the text pasted below) This is an outstanding achievement by one of the leaders in our field. Joe has been one of the "founding fathers" of the computational geometry community, initiating the ACM Symposium on Computational Geometry series. Most of us have used his books for both research and teaching purposes; they are gems. We look forward to his continuing series of Computational Geometry Columns (in SIGACT News and IJCGA). Joe has been an inspiration to "generations" of researchers in our young community. It is with great pride that I learned that Joe O'Rourke, one of our own, is among the distinguished few in the USA selected for this high honor! Way to go Joe!! Sincerely, Joe Mitchell Chair, CG Steering Committee ** PRESS RELEASE ** NSF Selects First "Director's Awards for Distinguished Teaching Scholars" Awards highlight excellence and promise in both research and education This week the National Science Foundation (NSF) took a step to further encourage scientists and engineers to apply their talents to education, inside the classroom and out, by announcing the first Director's Awards for Distinguished Teaching Scholars. Five men and two women, whose research excellence has been shared liberally through education efforts among their student bodies and the public at large, have received $300,000 each over four years to continue and expand their work beyond their institutions. The recipients, Arthur B. Ellis (University of Wisconsin-Madison), Leah H. Jamieson (Purdue University), Gretchen Kalonji (University of Washington), Eric Mazur (Harvard University), Joseph O'Rourke (Smith College, Mass.), H. Eugene Stanley (Boston University) and Carl E. Wieman (University of Colorado) will share NSF's "highest honor for excellence in both teaching and research." They will be honored at a ceremony on November 8 at the National Academy of Sciences in Washington, D.C. During her tenure as NSF director, Rita Colwell has encouraged scientists and engineers to be involved in education, both in the classroom on subjects in which these scientists are already well-versed, or by engaging students and citizens in public fora on contemporary issues. She said the new awards should stimulate broader efforts. "This award embodies our priority to recognize the outstanding contributions of scientists and engineers to the leading edge of scientific knowledge at the same time they are advancing the frontiers of education in science, mathematics, engineering and technology," Colwell said. An interdisciplinary panel reviewed nearly 70 proposals from universities and colleges, with almost 25 percent submitted by women. "These awards are far-reaching because they will foster innovative educational developments. They will increase and expand awareness of career opportunities in science and engineering. And they will further enhance connections between fundamental research and undergraduate education," said Judith Ramaley, NSF's assistant director for education and human resources. "These distinguished scholars are doing much to improve science and mathematics education to benefit non-majors as well as majors in science and engineering. In addition, they are raising to a higher level knowledge and literacy of the general public, which is very important to the nation's future prominence in science, engineering and technology." -NSF- Attachment: Distinguished Teaching Scholars - 2001 Attachment DISTINGUISHED TEACHING SCHOLARS - 2001 Recipient/Field Institution Accomplishments & Basis of Award Joseph O'Rourke Olin Professor of Computer Science Smith College Research in computational geometry has had applications for computer graphics, robotics and manufacturing.

Call for Papers SOLID MODELING 2002 Seventh ACM Symposium on Solid Modeling and Applications Max-Planck-Institut fur Informatik, Saarbrucken, Germany, June 17-21, 2002 Sponsored by ACM SIGGRAPH and EUROGRAPHICS The Solid Modeling symposia series is an international forum for the exchange of recent research and applications of solid modelling, shape modelling, and geometric computation in design, analysis and manufacturing, as well as in the emerging biomedical, geophysical and other areas. This highly successful symposium, which has been held bi-annually since 1991, brings together prominent researchers, key practitioners, and numerous students in the field. Starting in 2002, it will be held annually, alternating in location between the USA and the other countries with a two year period. The Solid Modeling 2002 symposium will be held at the Max-Planck-Institut fur Infomatik, in Saarbrucken, Germany. In addition to technical papers in plenary sessions, the program for Solid Modeling 2002 will include: ? academic and industrial tutorials ? keynote lectures ? panel sessions ? best paper award at the symposium banquet ? sponsorship of students to attend the symposium ? social program More information on the symposium can be found on the Solid Modeling 2002 web page: http://www.mpi-sb.mpg.de/units/ag4/sm02/index.html The papers submission schedule is as follows: October 15, 2001: Abstracts due November 30, 2001: Full papers due February 28, 2002: Notice of acceptance and reviews March 31, 2002: Final camera-ready papers and extended abstracts due For details on how to submit abstracts and papers, please consult the web page.
