Theory Announcements: [DMANET] CFP 27th Symposium on Computational Geometry

---------------------------------------------------------------------
CALL FOR PAPERS
---------------------------------------------------------------------
27th Annual Symposium on Computational Geometry (SoCG 2011)
June 13-15, 2011
Paris, France
In cooperation with ACM SIGACT and SIGGRAPH

http://socg2011.inria.fr/

The Twenty-Seventh Annual Symposium on Computational Geometry will be
held in Paris, France. We invite submissions of high-quality papers
describing original research addressing computational problems in a
geometric setting, in particular their algorithmic solutions,
implementation issues, applications, and mathematical foundations.

The topics of the Symposium reflect the rich diversity of research
interests in computational geometry. They are intended to highlight both
the depth and scope of computational geometry, and to invite fruitful
interactions with other disciplines. Topics of interest include, but are
not limited to:
* design, analysis, and implementation of geometric algorithms and
data structures; lower bounds on the computational complexity of
geometric problems;
* mathematical, numerical, and algebraic issues arising in the
formulation, analysis, implementation, and experimental evaluation of
geometric algorithms and heuristics; discrete and combinatorial
geometry; computational topology;
* novel applications of computational geometry in computer graphics,
geometric modeling, computer-aided design and manufacturing, scientific
computing, geographic information systems, database systems, robotics,
computational biology, machine learning, sensor networks, medical
imaging, combinatorial optimization, statistical analysis, discrete
differential geometry, theoretical computer science, graph drawing, pure
mathematics, and other fields.

----- Important Dates -----

* November 22, 2010: Paper titles and (short) abstracts due
* December 01, 2010: Full submissions due (23:59, Honolulu time)
* February 14, 2011: Notification of acceptance/rejection of papers
* June 13-15, 2011: Symposium in Paris, France

A call for Video and Multimedia Presentations will be announced later.

CALL FOR PAPERS
---------------------------------------------------------------------

We invite submissions of high-quality papers describing original
research on geometric algorithms and data structures, their mathematical
foundations and correctness, their implementation, and their applications.

The program committee explicitly encourages the submission of video or
multimedia in support of submitted papers. Authors may wish to consider
making a separate submission to the video/multimedia track (of the which
the call for submissions will be distributed separately). Papers and
video/multimedia submissions will be reviewed separately; acceptance or
rejection of one will not influence acceptance or rejection of the other.

Final versions of accepted papers will be published by ACM in the
symposium proceedings. Proceedings will be distributed to symposium
participants and will also be available from ACM for purchase or through
the digital library. An author of each accepted paper will be expected
to attend the Symposium and give a presentation (approximately 20
minutes) of the paper. Authors of a selection of papers from the
conference will be invited to submit extended versions of their papers
to a special issue of one or more journals.

----- Paper Submission -----

All submissions should be made electronically; see the EasyChair
SoCG2011 web pages
http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=socg2011
for detailed submission instructions. If electronic submission is not
feasible, please contact the program committee chairs, Ferran Hurtado
and Marc van Kreveld, well in advance of the submission deadlines.

----- Submission Guidelines ------

Papers should be submitted in the form of an extended abstract, which
begins with the title of the paper, each author's name, affiliation, and
e-mail address. This should be followed by a precise statement of the
problem considered, a succinct summary of the results obtained
(emphasizing the significance, novelty, and potential impact of the
research), and a clear comparison with related work. The remainder of
the extended abstract should provide sufficient detail to allow the
program committee to evaluate the validity, quality, and relevance of
the contribution. Clarity of presentation is very important; the whole
extended abstract should be written carefully, taking into consideration
that it will be read and evaluated by both experts and non-experts,
often under tight time constraints.

Submissions should be typeset in single column format, using 11-point or
larger font, with at least 1 inch/2.54 cm margins and single line
spacing. Excluding the title page and bibliography, the extended
abstract must not exceed 10 pages. Submissions deviating from these
guidelines risk rejection without consideration of their merits.

A clearly marked appendix (of reasonable length) containing omitted
proofs may be included directly in the submission, and is mandatory for
crucial proofs. Appendices are not counted in the 10 page limit, so
while they may serve as a reference, they are not necessarily read by
the program committee. Other supporting materials, such as a video or
multimedia presentation, source code, or experimental data, may be
provided by including a URL in the submission, but again, these will be
considered only at the discretion of the program committee.

Anticipating the usual high overall quality of submissions, the program
committee intends to accept more papers than was typical in previous
years. Also, we intend to interpret the scope of the conference broadly,
and will accept all papers of high quality that are of significant
interest to our research community. The conference venue in Paris is
attractive and allows a bigger conference than previous years.

Authors must submit the title and a short abstract of their paper by
November 22, 2010. This pre-submission will be used to help make program
committee reading assignments. Extended abstracts must be received by
December 1, 2010 (23:59, Honolulu time). There will be no extension of
this deadline; late submissions will not be considered. Authors will be
notified of acceptance or rejection by February 14, 2011. The final
proceedings papers must be formatted in accordance with ACM proceedings
guidelines; LaTeX style files will be made available to authors of
accepted papers.

Concurrent submission of the same (or essentially the same) abstract to
SoCG and to another conference with published proceedings is not
allowed. An extended abstract of a paper that is under journal review,
or scheduled for publication in a journal after June 2011, may be
submitted, when it is clear that the extended abstract differs
substantially from the journal version. In such cases, the authors must
include the journal version in an appendix that clearly identifies the
status of the journal submission.
