PREPROCESS takes a list of fixed points, and preprocesses them into a data structure. QUERY takes a query point, and returns the closest fixed point to it. Nearpt3 is very fast and very small. It is designed to process datasets with hundreds of millions of points. Test data from the following sources was used: - The Stanford 3D Scanning Repository, - Stanford University's Digital Michelangelo Project Archive of 3D Models, - Georgia Institute of Technology's Large Geometric Models Archive, and - The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill Walkthru Project We used the largest available PLY file datasets from each source. The largest dataset tested to date is the St Matthew PLY file from the Digital Michelangelo Project Archive, with 184,098,599 vertices. We used 184,088,599 as fixed points and 10,000 as queries. Total I/O, preprocessing, and query time on a 2.2MHz Xeon was 160 CPU seconds. Quite large datasets can be processed on a laptop computer. Preprocessing the David dataset with 28,158,109 vertices and performing 10,000 queries took only 47 CPU seconds on an IBM T30. More info is at http://wrfranklin.org/Research/nearpt3/index.html That includes a paper describing the algorithm, test results, and the code. -- W.

Bridging the gap between theoretical advances and implemented solutions is an important aspect of the conference. Indeed, advances in graph drawing are a key factor in such technological areas as Web computing, e-commerce, VLSI circuit design, information systems, software engineering, computational cartography, visual interfaces, bioinformatics, and networking. Researchers and practitioners working on theoretical and practical aspects of graph drawing are welcome to participate. Human performance studies based on perceptual and cognitive evaluations are encouraged. SCOPE The range of topics that are within the scope of the International Symposium on Graph Drawing includes (but is not limited to): * Visualization of networks, Web maps, software engineering diagrams, database schemas, chemical structures and molecules * Graph algorithms * Geometric graph theory and geometric computing * Software systems for graph visualization * Topology and planarity * Graph theory and optimization on graphs * Interfaces for interacting with graphs * Empirical assessment of graph drawing systems * Task analysis to guide graph drawing INVITED SPEAKERS Kurt Mehlhorn (Max-Planck-Institut f?r Informatik) George G. Robertson (Microsoft Research) CALL FOR PAPERS, DEMOS, AND POSTERS Authors are invited to submit papers describing original research and surveys of theoretical or practical significance to graph drawing. Demonstrations of systems incorporating original and innovative research ideas are also solicited. A system demonstration should include illustrative screen dumps and a description of the system's functionalities. Regular papers and demos must be labeled as either long or short; long papers will be assigned 12 pages in the conference proceedings, and short papers 6 pages. Submissions of posters in graph drawing and related areas are also solicited. The purpose is to provide a forum for the communication of results (which may appear elsewhere) to the graph drawing community. A poster will be given 2 pages in the conference proceedings. Submission of substantially similar papers or demos to GD 2005 and to other conferences with published proceedings is not allowed. INSTRUCTIONS FOR AUTHORS Each submission must include an indication of its type (paper, demo description, or poster) and contact information for the primary author. For a paper or a demo, an indication about whether it is a regular or a short submission must also be given. Electronic submissions are strongly encouraged. Detailed submission instructions will be provided on the conference web site. SOFTWARE EXHIBITION During the conference there will be a graph drawing software exhibition for which we hope to attract all state-of-the-art software tools in graph drawing. Participants can bring their own laptop or request a PC for the exhibition. Details about how to register will be announced in the conference website. GRAPH DRAWING CONTEST Following the tradition of previous conferences, a graph drawing contest will be held. A $1,000 prize will be awarded to the winner. Details on the contest will be provided on the conference web site. IMPORTANT DATES * Submissions of papers, demos, and posters: May 31, 2005 * Notification of acceptance: July 15, 2005 * Graph Drawing Contest Submissions: September 5, 2005 PROCEEDINGS Accepted submissions will be published in the conference proceedings, which will be included in the Springer-Verlag series Lecture Notes in Computer Science.

Regli, Drexel University, USA Michela Spagnuolo, IMATI-CNR, Genova, Italy Important Dates: 1 October 2005 Deadline for Submission of Full Papers 1 February 2006 Deadline for Submission of Revised Papers Summer 2006 Expected Publication 3D CAD data has become the currency of the modern engineering enterprise. As the industry has matured, CAD models have become ubiquitous artifacts that provide highfidelity descriptions of engineered objects as well as capture vital intellectual property and institutional memory. Researchers have been developing automated tools for model classification, indexing and analysis for over 30 years and this work spans many research areas (CAD/CAM, engineering design, knowledge representation, case-based reasoning, computer vision, pattern recognition, computational geometry, solid modeling, shape modeling, and computer graphics). However, recent developments in shape analysis indicate that it may be a suitable basis to integrate across disciplines and create new technologies for harvesting vast quantities of geometry-centric engineering data into knowledge that can significantly improve product realization. This special issue of Computer-Aided Design is dedicated to providing a critical evaluation of shape search technology and its applicability to different engineering applications. The Guest Editors are soliciting original manuscripts that highlight recent successes and define major research challenges. We would particularly like to receive papers that contribute to understanding of: o Multi-level representations for matching and retrieval o Algorithms for feature extraction, model decomposition and segmentation o Partial and many-to-many matching o Matching under uncertainty and noise o Representation and capture of engineering semantics o Retrieval using engineering semantics o Query interfaces and search modalities o Classification, indexing, mining of engineering data o Integration of CAD search with database and PLM systems o Applications, prototypes, and fielded systems o Empirical studies, scalability results and benchmarks For this special issue, Computer Aided Design and the guest editors strongly encourage potential authors to use models and datasets that are publicly available. Additionally, authors may provide online links to models they use in their papers and experiments. Results presented must be independently verifiable or reproducible. Datasets appropriate to this issue include those noted in the CAD "Information for Authors" such as the Drexel Design Repository (http://www.designrepository.org), the Princeton Shape Benchmark (http://shape.cs.princeton.edu/benchmark/), and the AIM@SHAPE repository (http://www.aim-atshape.net:10080/). All prospective authors are invited to obtain early feedback on possible submissions by e-mailing an abstract to either of the Guest Editors (regli@drexel.edu or michela.spagnuolo@ge.imati.cnr.it). All papers will be rigorously refereed. Submission of a paper to this special issue of JCAD implies that no strongly similar paper is already accepted or will be submitted to any other conference or journal. Authors should consult the "Instructions for Authors", which are available online and printed at the back of most issues of Computer-Aided Design, for information about preparation of their manuscripts. Papers of an appropriate standard not included in the special issue may be considered for publication in a regular issue of Computer-Aided Design. For this special issue, manuscripts should be submitted through the Elsevier publication management system for the CAD Journal, http://ees.elsevier.com/cad/. If this is your first time using the system you will need to go to the web page and register as a new author by clicking the 'Register' link. Once registered you may then submit your paper by clicking 'Submit New Manuscript' and follow the instructions. All correspondence between the editor and authors will be performed by e-mail and paper copies will not be required at the original submission stage. When submitting a paper for this issue please choose the article type 'Special Issue---Shape Similarity' from the drop down menu. -- William C.
