Annals of Mathematics and Artificial Intelligence
Special Issue on Geometric Reasoning
http://dream.inf.ed.ac.uk/events/amai-geom

Geometry is one of most studied areas of mathematics and, though its
role as a
foundational system has evolved over time, it remains key to our
understanding
of many aspects of the world. It is one of the first areas to which
Artificial
Intelligence (AI) was applied and has remained the focus of much work in
the
field, giving rise to new mathematical concepts and techniques, heuristics,
algorithms, and applications over the past fifty years. In view of the
importance
of geometry and the sustained advances in the field of computer-based
geometric
reasoning and its applications, the time seems ripe to take stock of the
progress
so far and look at some of the latest mathematical and AI-related
advances in
the field. Thus, we invite original contributions -- ranging from theory to
implementations and applications -- and insightful surveys to a special
issue of
the Annals of Mathematics and Artificial Intelligence on Geometric
Reasoning.

Relevant topics include (but are not limited to):

* Automated and interactive theorem proving in geometry involving
algebraic,
logical, and/or probabilistic approaches.
* Symbolic and numerical methods for geometric computation and constraint
solving.
* The formal verification of geometric algorithms, for instance in
relation to
computational geometry.
* Reasoning and manipulation via diagrams, including approaches based on
dynamic
geometry.
* The design, implementation, and evaluation of software for geometric
reasoning.
* Knowledge management and libraries of test problems for theorem
proving in
geometry.
* The applications to geometric modelling, CAGD/CAD, computer vision,
robotics,
and education.

Submission

Prospective authors should follow the instructions set out by the Annals of
Mathematics and Artificial Intelligence on its webpage
(http://www.springer.com/computer/ai/journal/10472) and submit their
articles
through Springer's Editorial Manager System (at
https://www.editorialmanager.com/amai)
by the deadline indicated below.

Please note that the guest editors will first carry a quick assessment
of each
submission and only papers that are deemed relevant to the special issue
and are
of high enough quality will be forwarded to at least two referees for full,
independent reviews.
