1st call for papers; submission deadline May 14, 1999
--------------------------------------------------------

The Eleventh Canadian Conference on Computational Geometry (CCCG '99)
will be held at the University of British Columbia, Vancouver, Canada,
August 15-18, 1999.

Call for Abstracts: The programme committee invites submissions of
extended abstracts in all areas of computational geometry.
Abstracts should use two to four pages in ACM conference format:
Double column, US letter paper, in a standard 10pt font.
(E.g. http://www.acm.org/sigs/pubs/proceed/template.html)
We encouraged the simultaneous submission of the URL (web address)
for a full paper, which will be used to provide more detailed feedback
to authors.

Authors will be notified if their abstacts are accepted by May 31; comments
on full papers will be given at the same time (or in the following two weeks
if there are more extensive comments.)  Authors of all accepted papers are
encouraged to contribute a full version for the electronicproceedings by
July 7, otherwise the extended abstract will be used.

Abstracts, in postscript or PDF, and links to full papers, should be sent by
May 14, 1999 to snoeyink at cs.ubc.ca

CCCG focuses on the mathematics of discrete geometry from a computational
point of view. 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.
Invited speakers include Victor Klee (mathematics, Univ of Washington), John
Canny (computer science, UC Berkeley) and Susanne Fortier (chemistry, Queens
Univ.)

CCCG'99 follows WADS'99, the Workshop on Algorithms And Data Structures,
which is held in downtown Vancouver. See http://www.scs.carleton.ca/~wads


Important dates:
 Submission of abstract:  May 14, 1999.
 Notification of acceptance:  May 31, 1999.
 Submission of final paper:  July 7, 1999.

 Jack Snoeyink (Chair, UBC)
