> Computational Geometry: Young Researchers Forum -- Call for Abstracts
> =====================================================================
>
> The 28th Symposium on Computational Geometry (SoCG) will take place June 16-20,
> 2012 on the campus of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. See
> http://socg2012.web.unc.edu/. It brings together the global community of
> researchers who work on a large variety of aspects that combine geometry,
> algorithms and applications.
>
> Traditionally, the participation and involvement of students in research,
> discussions, and social events plays a large role. Participation in a
> top-level event such as SoCG can be educating, motivating, and useful for
> networking, both with other students and with more senior scientists.
>
> To allow a broad audience to actively participate in the community's major
> scientific event, this year's Symposium will be accompanied by a series of
> afternoon events, under the collective title "Computational Geometry:
> Applications, Practice, and Theory" (CG:APT), which, together with SoCG (whose
> talks are scheduled for the mornings), will constitute "CG Week 2012".
>
> One of these events will be "Computational Geometry: Young Researchers Forum"
> (CG:YRF), which aims at current and recent students. Its objective is to let
> young researchers present their work (in progress as well as finished
> results) in a friendly, open setting. Just like in the main event,
> presentations will be given in the form of talks. A pre-screening (but no
> formal review process) will ensure appropriate quality control.
>
> See the event web page
> http://www.ibr.cs.tu-bs.de/users/fekete/CGYRF/main.html
> for further details.
>
> Formal aspects:
> - The topic must fit into the general context of SoCG, as described in the call
> for SoCG submissions; see http://socg2012.web.unc.edu/call-for-papers/.
> - Submissions must be in the form of 2-page abstracts, to be submitted via easychair.
> See http://www.ibr.cs.tu-bs.de/users/fekete/CGYRF/submission.html for details,
> and http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=cgyrf2012
> for the submission site, which is now open.
> - Formatting must be according to a provided style file.
> http://www.ibr.cs.tu-bs.de/users/fekete/CGYRF/styles.html
> Please ensure that your submission is formatted in letter style, so that we get a uniform
> overall appearance.
> - At least one of the authors must be a current or recent student; this is defined as
> not having received a formal doctorate before 2010.
> - The idea of the event is to present new and ongoing work. Therefore, abstracts should
> not have appeared in print in a formally reviewed proceedings volume or journal by
> the time of submission.
> - The paper must be presented by a co-authoring student during CG:YRF.
> - Accepted abstracts will be compiled in a booklet of abstracts that will be
> distributed among the participants; however, these should not be considered a
> formal publication. In particular, participants are encouraged to turn their
> presented work into a form that can be published in a formal, peer-reviewed
> context.
>
> After acceptance, appropriate acceptance letters can be provided.
>
> Important dates:
> - March 11, 2012, 23:59 Honolulu time: Deadline for submissions
