                            CALL FOR PAPERS 
                            Special Issue of
       INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF FOUNDATIONS OF COMPUTER SCIENCE
                                  on
                    Volume and Surface Triangulations 

Triangulation has been used as an important data structure and methodology for 
many problems in different applications such as finite element methods, computer 
graphics, geometric modeling, and geographical information systems.  The 
classical 
Delaunay triangulation and its dual, the Voronoi diagram, has been extensively 
studied and many beautiful theorems are known.  Recently, research in surface 
reconstruction, simplification, and mesh generation have spurred new 
combinatorial 
and algorithmic advances for triangulations.  We can expect that the trend will 
continue, novel methodologies for triangulations will be developed, and further 
applications will be discovered.

Accordingly, we are planning a special issue of IJFCS on new results on volume 
and 
surface triangulations in topics of interest that include, but are not limited 
to:

[o] Data structures and algorithms for triangulations
[o] Geometric modeling 
[o] Mesh generation 
[o] Surface reconstruction and simplification
[o] Applications of triangulations 


A timely publication with a fast refereeing process is planned.  Submit five 
copies 
of your manuscript by February 15, 2001, to one of the guest editors:
