----------------------------------------------------
The 24th Canadian Conference on Computational Geometry will be held in Charlottetown, Prince
Edward Island, on August 8-10, 2012. There will be a reception on the evening of the 7th.
CCCG has a tradition of being welcoming to students. It is expected that this year registration fees
will be reimbursed for most students and postdocs.
See http://2012.cccg.ca for details and updates.
SCOPE
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, protein folding, urban planning, graph drawing, or statistical analysis to
name just a few. Authors are invited to submit papers describing original research of theoretical or
practical significance in computational, combinatorial and discrete geometry, as well as related
areas.
AUDIENCE
CCCG is an international 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.
SUBMISSION DETAILS
Submissions should not exceed six pages, must be submitted electronically, and 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. Each submission will be refereed by at least three
members of the Program Committee.
Details on the submission procedure are outlined on the conference website. Six-page papers
accepted at CCCG will appear in the printed proceedings of the conference. Electronic proceedings
without page limits will be hosted at http://cccg.ca
Selected papers from the conference will be invited for submission to a special issue of the journal
Computational Geometry: Theory and Applications.
