                CALL FOR PAPERS/PARTICIPATION

              ELEVENTH ANNUAL FALL WORKSHOP ON
                  COMPUTATIONAL GEOMETRY

                    November 2--3, 2001

Auditorium, Library/CATT Building, Polytechnic University

We are pleased to announce the eleventh in a series of annual fall
workshops on Computational Geometry. This workshop series, founded
originally under the sponsorship of the Mathematical Sciences Institute
(MSI) at Stony Brook (with funding from the U. S. Army Research
Office), continued during 1996-1999 under the sponsorship of the Center
for Geometric Computing, a collaborative center of Brown, Duke, and
Johns Hopkins Universities, also funded by the U.S. Army Research
Office. In 2000, for the tenth in the workshop series, the workshop was
again held on the campus of the University at Stony Brook. 

This year, for the first time, it will be held at Polytechnic University
in Brooklyn. 


Important Dates

    Deadline for submission: Oct 1, 2001 
    Notification of acceptance: Oct 8, 2001 
    Conference: Nov 2-3 2001 

Scope and Format

The aim of this workshop is to bring together students and researchers
from academia and industry, to stimulate collaboration
on problems of common interest arising in geometric computations. Topics
to be covered include, but are not limited to: 

    Algorithmic methods in geometry 
    I/O-scalable geometric algorithms 
    Animation of geometric algorithms 
    Computer graphics 
    Solid modeling 
    Geographic information systems 
    Computational metrology 
    Graph drawing 
    Experimental studies 
    Geometric data structures 
    Implementation issues 
    Robustness in geometric computations 
    Computer vision 
    Robotics 
    Computer-aided design 
    Mesh generation 
    Manufacturing applications of geometry 
    Computational biology and geometric computations 

Following the tradition of the previous fall workshops on Computational
Geometry, the format of the workshop will be informal, extending over 2
days, with several breaks scheduled for discussions.  There will also be
an Open Problem Session in order to promote a free exchange of questions
and research challenges. 

Invited Speakers

The following speakers are confirmed. We are in the process of inviting
one or two more. 

    Tom Barclay (Microsoft Bay Area Research Center) 
      Title to be announced

    Bud Mishra (NYU and Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory)
      The Geometry of Genome-Wide Probe Placement:
      Applications to Gene Copy Number Fluctuations in Tumor Cells. 

    Mark Shephard (Scorec, Rensselaer Polytechnic University)
      Geometry issues in Mesh Generation and High-Order Finite Elements 

The invited speakers are eminent leaders in their respective fields
and have witnessed first-hand the need for geometric computing and its
applications. We hope that the interaction with the computational
geometry community will be stimulating both to computational geometers
and to those involved in applying techniques of computational geometry to
other disciplines.

Submissions

Authors are invited to submit abstracts for talks to be given at the
workshop. Please send an abstract (up to 2 pages) and a draft of a paper
(if you have one). E-mail submissions are encouraged; send to
cgworkshop at poly.edu.  Ideally, the abstract should be a PDF, PostScript,
LaTeX, or plain ascii text file, for ease in assembling the abstract
booklet. Abstracts can also be sent by regular mail to:

    Herve Bronnimann (CG Workshop)
    Computer and Information Sciences
    Polytechnic University
    Six Metrotech
    Brooklyn NY 11201 

Submissions should arrive by October 1, 2001. Authors will be notified
of acceptance by October 8, 2001. 

The list of accepted papers, as well as the program schedule, will be
posted on the web site by October 10, 2001.

Registration

Registration will be available through the web site, or by email. Please
bookmark this link and follow the announcements to
either the TheoryNet or compgeom mailling lists. Pending funding
approval, we expect there will be no registration fee. 

Students are especially encouraged to attend and participate! Pending
funding approval, we expect to have small scholarships
available to help cover (regional) travel and accomodation for students.
