conference announcement: final call for papers CANADIAN CONFERENCE ON COMPUTATIONAL GEOMETRY (CCCG 2010) August 9-11, 2010, Winnipeg, Canada The submission deadline has been extended to 23:59 Central Daylight Time (UTC - 5) on Friday May 14, 2010. The 22nd Canadian Conference on Computational Geometry (CCCG 2010) will be held in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada on August 9-11, 2010, at the University of Manitoba. CCCG focuses on the design of efficient algorithms, the development of software, and the study of the mathematical foundations of computational problems whose formulations involve geometric constraints. The field of computational geometry is motivated by problems from a broad range of application areas, as diverse as computer graphics and animation, computer vision, computer-aided design and manufacturing, geographic information systems, pattern recognition, wireless communications, robotics, urban planning, graph drawing, or statistical analysis to name just a few. CCCG is a forum, accessible to a broad community of researchers, to disseminate and discuss new theoretical and applied results in discrete and computational geometry. The intended audience for this conference includes graduate and undergraduate students, researchers in the area, and members of industry whose work involves geometric computation. Selected papers from the conference will be invited for submission to a special issue of the journal Computational Geometry: Theory and Applications. SUBMISSION DETAILS Authors are invited to submit papers describing original research of theoretical or practical significance in computational geometry. Submissions will be refereed by the Program Committee. Submissions should not exceed four pages. Documents must be prepared using LaTeX; the appropriate template is available from the conference website. Authors who feel that additional details are necessary should include a clearly marked appendix, which will be read at the discretion of the Program Committee. Only electronic submissions will be accepted. Details on the submission procedure are outlined on the conference website. Four page abstracts accepted to CCCG will appear in the printed proceedings of the conference. Electronic proceedings without page limits will be hosted on the CCCG website at http://cccg.ca INVITED SPEAKERS David Avis - McGill University (Paul Erdos Memorial Lecturer) David Eppstein - University of California, Irvine David Kirkpatrick - University of British Columbia IMPORTANT DATES Submissions Due: May 14, 2010 Notification of Acceptance: June 14, 2010 Final Versions Due: June 30, 2010 Conference: August 9-11, 2010 CONFERENCE WEB PAGE For additional details, including submission instructions and local information, please visit the conference webpage: http://www.cs.umanitoba.ca/~cccg2010 PROGRAM COMMITTEE Greg Aloupis Academia Sinica Tetsuo Asano Japan Advanced Institute of Science and Technology Binay Bhattacharya Simon Fraser University Prosenjit Bose Carleton University Helen Cameron University of Manitoba Paz Carmi Ben-Gurion University of the Negev Sebastien Collette Universite Libre de Bruxelles Adrian Dumitrescu University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee Stephane Durocher (co-chair) University of Manitoba Will Evans University of British Columbia Sandor Fekete Braunschweig University of Technology Chris Gray Braunschweig University of Technology John Howat Carleton University John Iacono Polytechnic Institute of New York University Mark Keil University of Saskatchewan Marc van Kreveld Utrecht University Stefan Langerman Universite Libre de Bruxelles Anna Lubiw University of Waterloo Avner Magen University of Toronto Anil Maheshwari Carleton University Andrea Mantler University of Manitoba Pat Morin Carleton University Jason Morrison (co-chair) University of Manitoba Bardia Sadri University of Toronto Stephen Wismath University of Lethbridge Norbert Zeh Dalhousie University ORGANIZING COMMITTEE Helen Cameron University of Manitoba Stephane Durocher (co-chair) University of Manitoba Mark Keil University of Saskatchewan Andrea Mantler University of Manitoba Jason Morrison (co-chair) University of Manitoba SPONSORS We thank the following organizations for generously supporting CCCG 2010.
