CALL FOR PAPERS
Sixteenth Annual Symposium on
COMPUTATIONAL GEOMETRY
June 12-14, 2000
Hong Kong University of Science and Technology
http://www.cs.ust.hk/tcsc/scg00.html
Sponsored by ACM SIGACT and SIGGRAPH
The Sixteenth Annual Symposium on Computational Geometry, featuring an
applied track, a theoretical track, and a video review, will be held at Hong
Kong University of Science and Technology, Hong Kong. We invite high-quality
submissions in the following areas:
* geometric algorithms or combinatorial geometry, for the theoretical
track, or
* implementation issues or applications of computational geometry, for
the applied track.
The proceedings, with the papers of both tracks, will be distributed at the
symposium and will subsequently be available for purchase from ACM. A
selection of papers will be invited to special issues of journals. During
the conference, sessions of presentations will alternate between the two
tracks, rather than being in parallel. Topics for the theoretical track
include, but are not limited to design and theoretical analysis of geometric
algorithms and data structures; lower bounds for geometric problems; and
discrete and combinatorial geometry. Topics for the applied track include,
but are not limited to experimental analysis of algorithms and data
structures; mathematical and numerical issues arising from implementations;
and novel uses of computational geometry in other disciplines, such as
robotics, computer graphics, geometric and solid modeling, manufacturing,
and geographical information systems. See below for additional information
on the two tracks.
Theoretical Track Submission
Electronic submissions are preferred for the theoretical track (see web page
above for instructions), but authors may instead mail 8 copies of an
extended abstract to arrive by December 6, 1999 to

extended abstract to arrive by December 6, 1999 to

Important Dates
December 6, 1999: Papers due, both tracks
February 13, 2000: Video submissions due
February 15, 2000: Notification of acceptance or rejection of papers
March 1, 2000: Notification of acceptance or rejection of videos
March 15, 2000: Camera-ready papers due
April 15, 2000: Final versions of videos due
June 12-14, 2000: Symposium
Papers that primarily address practical issues and implementation
experience, even if not tied to a particular application domain, should be
submitted to the applied track. Papers that primarily prove theorems should
be submitted to the theoretical track. Most experimental work should be
submitted to the applied track; an exception would be experiments in support
of mathematical investigations. Submissions to one track may be forwarded to
the other for consideration, unless the authors have explicitly stated
interest in one track only.
Papers should be submitted in the form of an extended abstract. Papers
should begin with the title of the paper, each author's name, affiliation,
and e-mail address, followed by a succinct statement of the problems and
goals that are considered in the paper, the main results achieved, the
significance of the work in the context of previous research, and a
comparison to past research. The abstract should provide sufficient detail
to allow the program committee to evaluate the validity, quality, and
relevance of the contribution. The entire extended abstract should not
exceed 10 pages, using 11 point or larger font and with at least one-inch
margins all around. For cases in which the authors consider it absolutely
essential to include additional technical details that do not fit into 10
pages, these details may be added in a clearly marked appendix that should
appear after the body of the paper and the references; this appendix will
not be regarded as a part of the submission and will be considered only at
the program committee's discretion.
Abstracts in hard copy must be received by December 6, 1999, or postmarked
by November 29 and sent airmail. Abstracts in electronic form are due by
December 6, 5:00 PM EST. These are firm deadlines: late submissions will not
be considered. Authors will be notified of acceptance or rejection by
February 15, 2000. A full version of each contribution in final form will be
due by March 15, 2000 for inclusion in the proceedings.
