Call for Papers
International Symposium
on
Voronoi Diagrams in Science and Engineering
September 13-15, 2004
University of Tokyo, Hongo, Tokyo, Japan
http://www.simplex.t.u-tokyo.ac.jp/~vd2004/
Sponsored by the 21st Century COE Program
on Information Science and Technology Strategic Core,
University of Tokyo
-----------------
Goal and Fields
-----------------
The concept of the Voronoi diagram as well as its dual structure, the
Delaunay diagram, is one of the most fundamental geometric big ideas, and
has been discovered and re-discovered repeatedly in the history of many
fields of science and engineering. This concept has become even more
important because recent development of computational methods enables us
to compute large-scale Voronoi diagrams in a robust manner, and consequently
enables us to apply this idea to practical problems arising in real worlds.
The goal of this symposium is to exchange ideas among different
disciplines and different fields of science and engineering, in particular
between theoreticians and practitioners and among practitioners in various
fields of applications, through the common tool "Voronoi/Delaunay diagram",
and thus to stimulate research activities in an interdisciplinary manner.
Expected topics include, but are not restricted to,
Theoretical aspects of Voronoi/Delaunay diagrams
Computational and implementational aspects of Voronoi/Delaunay diagrams
Generalizaion of the Voronoi/Delaunay diagrams
Applications of the Voronoi/Delaunay diagrams to
Biology
Chemistry
Physics
Material science
Geography
Location science
Geographic information systems
Mesh generation
Geometric algorithms
Solid modeling
Computer graphics
Pattern analysis and recognition
Space analysis
Motion analysis and planning
Collision detection and avoidance
Interpolation
Operations research
and others

Official language is English. Full papers (up to 12 pages in length)
are invited from a wide varity of topics related to the Voronoi diagrams,
the Delaunay diagrams, their extensions and applications. Authors should
submit full papers
by e-mail (PDF or postscript) to:
vd2004 at simplex.t.u-tokyo.ac.jp

7-3-1 Hongo, Bunkyo-ku, Tokyo 113-8656, Japan.
Accepted papers will appear in the proceedings of the symposium.
Selected papers will also be invited to the special issue of the
Japan Journal of Industrial and Applied Mathematics for possible
publication.
-----------------
Important Dates
-----------------
Paper submission: June 1, 2004
Notification of the acceptance: July 1, 2004
Final manuscript: August 10, 2004
Symposium: September 13-15, 2004
---------------------
Paper Review Policy
---------------------
The goal of the symposium is to exchange ideas among different
disciplines and fields, and hence the research areas will diverge.
So, we place emphasis on gathering papers from a wide range of
different research fields. Therefore, we select papers mainly from
the viewpoint of relevance of the topics.

About the 21st Century COE Program on Information
Science and Technology Strategic Core
---------------------------------------------------
To forge 21st century information science and technology closely
tuned to future real world needs, a strategic core headquaters has
been positioned in the University of Tokyo, as an organization playing
a tactical and leading role in promoting research and education in a
broad range of fields. This headquaters promotes three major united
projects: the Real World Information System Project, the Global
Dependable Information Infrastructure Project, and the Superrobust
Computation Project. This symposium is being organized as part of
the activities of the Superrobust Computation Project.
