[DMANET] Canadian Conference on Computational Geometry: CCCG 2010

conference announcement: call for participation

CANADIAN CONFERENCE ON COMPUTATIONAL GEOMETRY (CCCG 2010)
August 9-11, 2010, Winnipeg, Canada

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.

INVITED SPEAKERS

David Avis - McGill University (Paul Erdos Memorial Lecturer)
David Eppstein - University of California, Irvine
David Kirkpatrick - University of British Columbia

IMPORTANT DATES

Early Registration Deadline: July 23, 2010
Conference: August 9-11, 2010
