[DMANET] Canadian Conference on Computational Geometry: CCCG 2010

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
