Subject: Two postdoc positions at Utrecht University
Message-ID: <43678217.7060904@cs.uu.nl>


Please forward these openings to interested candidates,
like PhD students in computational geometry or a related
area and who will complete their PhD requirements before
Summer 2006.

----------------------------------------------------------------

At the Institute of Information and Computing Sciences of Utrecht
University, there are two openings for

                       POSTDOCs

for 2.5 years in computational geometry on a project entitled GADGET:

        Geometric Algorithm Design for Geographic Environments

funded by the Netherlands Organisation for Scientific Research (NWO).
The planned starting date for both postdocs is Spring or early Summer 2006.
The project leader is dr. Marc van Kreveld, and research will be done at
the Center for Geometry, Imaging and Virtual Environments (GIVE), headed
by prof.dr. Mark Overmars. See http://www.give.nl/

Summary
-------
One of the most important application areas of computational geometry
is geographic information science (GIS). Geometric algorithms are
needed for a variety of tasks, among which geographical analysis.
Geographical analysis involves combination of, or further computation
on spatial data sets to test hypotheses, compute measures and trends,
or derive other information. It gives rise to a variety of
computational problems that require the design of new algorithms.
This proposal addresses such computational problems by designing
these algorithms, complemented with efficiency analyses.

An important aspect of the proposed research is the formalization of
a concrete geographic task into an abstract geometric computation
problem. Algorithm design for realistic geographical analysis leads to
challenging new questions, since the problem statements involve more
aspects than usual.  The results of this project will be new
formalizations and new geometric algorithms that solve such problems
either exact, or with an approximation algorithm for which a
performance can be proved.

Geographical analysis is refined in three ways. Firstly, more
realistic versions of analysis tasks are treated, for example, spatial
interpolation and clustering with obstacles. Secondly, new types of
information are computed, such as spatio-temporal patterns for data
mining. Thirdly, geographical analyses are complemented by metadata,
where the outcome also provides minimal and maximal values based on
data imprecision.

We offer
--------
- A position as a postdoctoral researcher for two-and-a-half years, as
  part of a team consisting of two postdocs, the project leader (40%),
  and a scientific programmer. A related project involves two PhD
  students with whom collaboration is also desirable.
- An interesting, internationally oriented working environment that
  specializes in computational geometry and its applications. See
  http://www.give.nl/

We look for computer scientists with a PhD degree and
----------------------------------------------------------
- Considerable knowledge of algorithms, preferably geometric algorithms,
  and several publications in this field
- Interest in applications to the spatial sciences

More information
----------------
Interested candidates can contact dr. M. van Kreveld (Marc),
phone. +31 - 30 - 2534119, e-mail: marc@cs.uu.nl, for a more
extensive project description. Applications consisting of an
application letter and CV can be sent by e-mail to
dr. M. van Kreveld, no later than November 30, 2005.

Algorithms and Data Structures (WADS), intended as a forum for
researchers in the area of design and analysis of algorithms and data
structures. Since 1988 SWAT has been held in the five Nordic
countries, but this year's conference - the 10th in the series - will
be held in the neighboring Baltic region, which has traditionally had
a strong connection to the Nordic countries.

algorithms and data structures in all areas, including but not limited
to approximation algorithms, computational biology, computational
geometry, distributed algorithms, external-memory algorithms, graph
algorithms, online algorithms, optimization algorithms, parallel
algorithms, randomized algorithms, string algorithms and algorithmic
game theory.

Submissions must be of at most 12 pages (including references), using
11 point or larger font and with reasonable line spacing and margins.
Additionally a clearly marked appendix may be included; this appendix
will not be regarded as part of the submission and will be considered
only at the discretion of the program committee. Simultaneous
submission to other conferences with published proceedings is not
allowed. Contributors should submit their paper electronically at
http://www.lumii.lv/swat.

The proceedings will be published in the Springer-Verlag Lecture Notes
in Computer Science (LNCS) series. The final version of each accepted
paper must be submitted in electronic form conforming to the LNCS
style and not exceeding 12 pages.

The proceedings will also be available separately for purchase from Springer-Verlag (proceedings of the previous Workshops on Computational Geometry and Applications appeared in LNCS vol. 2073, vol. 2329-2331, vol. 3044-3046, vol 3480). 

Papers from the previous CGA Workshops have appeared in the special issues of International Journal of Computational Geometry and Applications, Journal of CAD/CAM, Journal of Computational Methods in Sciences and Engineering (JCMSE) and the Journal of Supercomputing.

Future Special Issues in the above journals are being planned for 2006.

Subject: Discrete and Computational Geometry: Twenty Years Later conference
Message-ID: <200511161745.jAGHjfcX000682@top.cims.nyu.edu>



We would like to call your attention to the upcoming Summer Research
Conference `Discrete and Computational Geometry: Twenty Years Later.'

This weeklong conference, sponsored jointly by the American
Mathematical Society, the Institute of Mathematical Statistics,
and the Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics, is scheduled
to take place in Snowbird, Utah, starting on Sunday, June 18, and
ending on Thursday, June 22, 2006.  It constitutes the third conference
in this decennial series, and at the same time marks the twentieth
anniversary of the founding of the Springer journal Discrete &
Computational Geometry.

The program will consist of a number of invited addresses, as well as
additional talks on ongoing or recent work, to be decided at the last
minute.  Limited support is available to participants.  Since space
itself is very limited, we urge you to indicate your interest as soon
as you possibly can.

The procedure for applying both for participation and support is spelled
out on the AMS web page devoted to the conference:

              http://www.ams.org/meetings/src-conflist.html.

Click on the third conference in the list, and follow the prompts.

We hope to see you in Snowbird next June!

Best regards,
Jacob E. Goodman, Janos Pach, and Ricky Pollack

P.S. If you have any students or postdocs who might be interested in
attending, please pass this letter on to them, and let them know that
there are some funds earmarked specifically for such support.

>This year we want people to submit an abstract by Nov 23, before the
>paper deadline of Dec 5. We will use these abstracts to assign papers to
>committee members, so that the committee members will have more time to
>read the papers. Please be aware that if you do NOT submit an abstract
>by Nov 23, there will be some delay in getting you paper to the committee.
