10th Annual Fall Workshop on Computational Geometry
October 27--28, 2000
Room S-240, Math Tower, University at Stony Brook
We are pleased to announce the tenth 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. For 2000, the tenth in the workshop series, the workshop returns
to the campus of the University at Stony Brook.
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.
