The goal of this one-day workshop is twofold: to allow CGAL users and developers to meet and share their experiences with the library while at the same time providing an opportunity for potential users to learn more about CGAL and how they might benefit from it. The day will be organized around a series of short (30-minute) presentations by users and developers. The topics to be discussed include but are not limited to: - design of library components - implementation of algorithms and data structures using CGAL - use of the library in experimentation - experiences with CGAL in teaching - comparisons of CGAL with other libraries. At the end of the day, we will have an extensive Q&A session. The focus of the meeting is not CGAL, but the users. If you have any suggestions about what should be discussed, please send a message to editor@cgal.org so we can do our best to organize the workshop to meet your needs. Abstract Submission ------------------- If you are a CGAL user and would like to present your work, we invite you to submit an abstract (in PostScript or PDF) to the CGAL Editorial Board by filling out the form on http://www.cgal.org/UserWorkshop/submission.html. The work need not be original for this workshop. The board will select presentations so as to achieve a balanced programme of general interest to other users and developers. Important Dates --------------- February 15, 2002: Abstract submission deadline March 1, 2002: Notification of acceptance or rejection June 4, 2002: Workshop Registration and Accommodation ------------------------------ You can register for the workshop when you register for SoCG'02.

I'd just like to add in my 2 cents about Sewanee. I've been at the University for a year now and I really love it here. The area is geographically stunning -- very much like living in the middle of a national park. We have lots of hiking and outdoor activity opportunities. The school itself is a well-endowed liberal arts school. Teaching is of primary importance but excellent research funding and support also is possible. I've recently been awarded a 3 year NSF grant specifically targeted to research at undergraduate universities. The students here are smart and engaged and class sizes are small so you can do a lot with your students. Feel free to email me or call me direct if you have questions before applying directly to my department head as suggested in the ad below. Cheers -- Lucia K. Dale Asst.

Message-ID: <3C481F31.C472BE5D@cs.uu.nl> The Institute of Information and Computing Sciences of Utrecht University participates in the European Community research project SPIRIT. Other partners of SPIRIT are located in Hannover, Zurich, Paris, Cardiff, and Sheffield. Within this project, we have (starting mid 2002): a postdoc position (3 years) and a PhD position (4 years) The goal of the SPIRIT project (SPatially-aware Information Retrieval on the InterneT) is to develop an Internet search engine that is targeted at geographically oriented searches. The contribution of Utrecht to the project is the research on and development of ranking of the query results by relevance with respect to the spatial query. Research involves the study of geometric and non-geometric, geographic measures for resemblance, distance, and other spatial concepts. Properties of such measures and geometric algorithms to compute them, must be developed, implemented, and tested. Another research topic is the geometric and algorithmic aspects of the automated extraction of meta-data from web pages that contain geographic data. Both the postdoc and the PhD candidate will be involved in the research, which lies at the interface of Geographic Information Science and applied computational geometry. The postdoc will also have some small organisational responsibilities towards the project. The research will be carried out under the supervision of dr. M. van Kreveld and dr. R. Veltkamp, and is done at the Applied Algorithms group headed by prof. M. Overmars. This group currently consists of 8 staff members, 9 PhD students, and 5 postdocs and scientific programmers.

Because actions in the physical world are subject to physical laws and geometric constraints, the design and analysis of robot algorithms raises fundamental questions in computer science, computational geometry, mechanical modelling, operations research, control theory, and associated fields. The biennial Workshop on Algorithmic Foundations of Robotics was established in 1994 as a single-track meeting to focus on algorithmic issues related to robotics and automation. The highly selective program highlights significant new results such as algorithmic models and complexity bounds. Discussion of new areas and open problems is encouraged. WAFR 2002 will bring together approximately sixty researchers to present and discuss contributed and invited papers. The proceedings will be subsequently published in a hard-cover volume. Selected papers will also be published in a special issue of the International Journal of Robotics Research. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: geometric algorithms simultaneous location and mapping surgery planning and guidance organ and tissue modelling computational molecular and structural biology simulation, animation, graphics holonomic and nonholonomic motion planning sensor-based planning and computer vision virtual environments and gaming manufacturing and assembly grasping and fixturing manipulation planning navigation and geographic information systems modular and reconfigurable robots distributed manipulation minimalist and underactuated robots controllability, complexity, and completeness Program Committee Pankaj Agarwal, Duke U., USA Nancy Amato, Texas A&M U., USA Nicholas Ayache, INRIA, Sophia-Antipolis, France Antonio Bicchi, U. of Pisa, Italy Robert-Paul Berretty, Philips Research, Holland Karl Bohringer, U. of Washington, USA Jean-Daniel Boissonnat, INRIA, Sophia-Antipolis, France Joel Burdick, Cal Tech, USA Howie Choset, Carnegie Mellon U., USA Ken Goldberg, UC Berkeley, USA Leonidas J.

Its mission is to foster transatlantic co-operation through joint projects and the exchange of scholars, ideas and information between the Computer Graphics communities in the Iberian Peninsula and Latin America. It is expected that a workshop dedicated to issues concerning teaching and Computer Graphics Curricula will be a part of the conference. Theme ===== Computer Graphics, through the design, manipulation and processing of extremely varied types of pictographic data using computers, has provided a rich vision of innovative applications. As a scientific endeavor, it has fostered such diverse areas as multimedia, virtual environments, Tele-presence, user-friendly and interactive interfaces, simulations and the visualization of complex information. The new generation of Mobile Devices requires new interaction and visualization paradigms in order to present rich information in attractive formats. However, given the current bandwidth, device and technology limitations, presenting complex information and interacting effectively with small devices poses major challenges. Due to its experience with resource limitations versus realism trade-offs, the Interactive Graphics Community is in a privileged position to provide substantial contributions to the ever-changing world of tele- communications. Topics ====== This symposium replaces this year's annual events of the Spanish and Portuguese Chapters of Eurographics. We invite researchers, students, academicians and practicians to contribute Papers from all areas related to computer graphics, multimedia and hardware. In particular we are looking to novel applications, algorithms and the human aspects of interaction with graphics, as well as artistic viewpoints and mobile computing. In support of the overall conference theme, three sub-themes have been selected as being of particular interest. Authors are invited to submit contributions addressing one or more of the following (non-exhaustive) list of major areas/topics: - Mobile Computing and Information Visualization - Augmented Reality - Computer Games - Multi-modal Interfaces - Virtual Environments - Geometric Modeling - Computer Graphics and Networks - Rendering - Visualization About the Venue =============== Guimaraes, located in the Minho region, north of Portugal, referred as the "birthplace of the Portuguese nationality", is an obligatory reference for all visitors.

The Canadian Conference on Computational Geometry (CCCG) reflects this diversity of interest, with invited speakers and contributed papers on topics ranging from geometric applications in industry to the frontiers of pure mathematics. 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 in length, should be made via the conference web page. Note that papers submitted to CCCG may not be eligible for submission to other conferences unless substantially modified.

Marc van Kreveld ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Call for Papers GIScience 2002 Second International Conference on Geographic Information Science Boulder, Colorado, USA September 26-28, 2002 http://www.giscience.org GIScience 2002 is the follow-up meeting to the highly successful GIScience 2000 conference with over 300 researchers attending. GIScience 2002 will again bring together scientists from academia, industry, and government to analyze progress and to explore new research directions. It will focus on emerging topics and basic research findings across all sectors of geographic information science. The conference program aims to attract leading GIScience researchers from all fields to reflect the interdisciplinary breadth of GIScience, including cognitive science, computer science, engineering, geography, information science, mathematics, philosophy, psychology, social science, and statistics. We solicit research papers in all areas of geographic information science. Since GIScience 2002 focuses on advances in the fundamentals of Geographic Information Science, submission of GIS application papers is discouraged. To accommodate the variety of papers and presentations that result from an interdisciplinary melting pot, GIScience 2002 will give authors choices about the type of submission they want to make. * Full papers, consisting of 5,000-word manuscripts, will be thoroughly reviewed. Manuscripts must describe original work that has not been published before nor is currently under review elsewhere. Papers must be written in English, in 12-point type, and double-spaced. All submissions will be reviewed by three members of the international program committee, and high-quality submissions will be accepted for presentation at the conference and will be published by an international publisher as a refereed conference proceedings. Deadline for submission of full papers: April 1, 2002. * Extended abstracts of 500-1000 words, describing work in progress, will be screened by the program committee, and those submissions selected will be published in a booklet and be presented at the conference. Extended abstracts must be written in English, in 12-point type, and double-spaced. Deadline for submission of extended abstracts: June 3, 2002. All submissions (full papers and extended abstracts) must be sent electronically to papers@giscience.org. Material can be submitted as PDF files or Microsoft Word files.
