Workshop Description
---------------------

The Workshop, held for the second year in conjunction with the
International Conference on Computational Science, is intended as an
international forum for researchers in all areas of computational  geometry.
Submissions of papers presenting a high-quality original  research are
invited to one of the two Workshop tracks:

-  theoretical computational geometry
-  implementation issues and applications of computational geometry.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

-Algorithmic methods in geometry
-Animation of geometric algorithms
-Lower bounds and algorithms complexity
-Solid modeling
-Geographic information systems
-Computational methodology
-Computer graphics and image processing
-Visibility graphs
-Space Partitioning
-Point Location and range searching
-Data structures (including Voronoi Diagrams and Delaunay triangulations)
-Geometric computations in parallel and distributed environment
-Mesh generation
-Interpolation and surface reconstruction
-Spatial and terrain analysis
-Computer graphics and image processing
-Robotics
-Path planning
-Computational methods in manufacturing
-Applications to molecular biology, granular mechanics,
 computational physics, oceanography
-Implementation issues


Submissions in other related areas will also be considered. The design  and
implementation of geometric algorithms in parallel and distributed
environments, and applications in mechanics, physics and biology, are of
special interest.

Proceedings
----------------

Proceedings of the Workshop will be published in the
Springer-Verlag Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) series. The
proceedings will also be available separately for purchase from
Springer-Verlag (proceedings of the International Workshop on Computational
Geometry and Applications'2001 appeared in LNCS, vol. 2073).

A selection of papers from the Workshop will be invited  to special issues
of journals, including the Journal of Supercomputing  (Kluwer publisher) and
Future Generation Computer Systems (Elsevier).


Best Student Paper Award and Travel Grant
-----------------------------------------

This year, a best student paper will be selected for a Best Student Paper
Award. This award will be available exclusively to CGA'02 participants.
A paper is eligible if at least one of its authors is a full or part-time
student at the time of submission.

Author of the paper submitted to CGA'02 will be also eligible to apply  for
Travel Grant, provided by ICCS'02 sponsors. The ICCS'02 program  committee
may decline to make the award, or may split it among more than  one
participant.

Paper Submission
----------------

We invite you to submit a draft of the paper of up to 10 pages (Letter or
A4) paper. Please include a cover page (in ASCII format) which lists the
following:

   - title of the paper
   - list of authors
   - name, affiliation, address and e-mail address of each author
   - name of the contact author
   - scope of the paper (theoretical or applied track)
   - a maximum of 5 keywords
   - intent to be considered for the Best Student Paper Award (provided
exclusively for CGA'02 participants)
   - intent to apply for Travel Grant (provided to all ICCS'02
participants)

Submissions missing a cover page will not be considered.
The submission must be camera-ready and formatted according to the
rules of LNCS. Electronic submissions in PS, PDF, or LaTex (please also
submit all .eps,  .dvi, and .ps files). MS Word submissions will also be
accepted. Five hard copies of the paper should be mailed only if  electronic
submission is not possible.

Each submission will be refereed by at least three referees.


Important Dates
----------------

     November 15, 2001: Deadline for paper submission (full papers).
     December 21, 2001: Notification of acceptance and Pre-registration.
     January 15, 2002: Camera Ready Papers and registration.
