[Apologies for multiple postings]

FIRST CALL FOR PAPERS - XVI EGC
XVI Spanish Meeting on Computational Geometry
(Encuentros de Geometría Computacional, EGC)
July 1-3, 2015 Barcelona, Spain
http://www-ma2.upc.es/egc15

The XVI Spanish Meeting on Computational Geometry will be held on July
1-3, 2015,
at the Faculty of Mathematics and Statistics, Universitat Politècnica de
Catalunya,
Barcelona, Spain.
The main focus of this international conference is on current topics in
Discrete and
Computational Geometry, including both theoretical and applied results.
EGC started in 1990, making this edition, 25 years later, a special
occasion.
The intended audience for this conference includes graduate and
undergraduate students,
researchers in the area or from neighboring disciplines, and members of
industry whose
work involves geometric algorithms.

Topics include, but are not limited to:
* geometric algorithms and data structures;
* discrete and combinatorial geometry;
* theoretical foundations of computational geometry;
* questions of interest in the implementation of geometric algorithms
and geometric
software development;
* applications of computational geometry, and closely related areas,
such as computer
graphics, virtual reality, robotics, computer vision, simulation and
visualization,
solid modelling, computer aided design and manufacturing, pattern
recognition, graph
drawing and circuit layout, image processing, geographic information
systems, multimedia
and animation, wireless communications, computer algebra,
computational topology,
statistical analysis, operations research, computational biology, etc.

The language of the conference is English, yet occasional
submissions/presentations in
Spanish may be exceptionally considered.


IMPORTANT DATES
All deadlines are 23:59 CEST and fixed. There will be no extensions.
Paper submission deadline: April 16, 2015
Notification of paper acceptance: May 14
Grant application deadline: May 21
Final versions due: May 31
Early registration deadline: June 4
Conference: July 1-3, 2015


INVITED SPEAKERS
Jin Akiyama, Tokyo University of Science.
Francisco Santos, Universidad de Cantabria.
Bettina Speckmann, Technische Universiteit Eindhoven.
Jorge Urrutia, Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México.


SUBMISSIONS
We invite authors to submit extended abstracts that should not exceed 4
pages of
original research. In order to guarantee that submissions are in scope
and not below
basic standards, there will be a limited review process. An appendix can
be added
as a help for the reviewers and is required when necessary to verify
omitted proofs
of critical claims. Submission details will be available on the
conference website.

We remark that XVI ECG will have neither formally reviewed proceedings
nor printed
abstracts. The abstracts, without ISBN, will be made available on the
conference
website (appendices excluded), and must be regarded as a collection of
preprints
rather than a formally reviewed selection of papers.

Papers that have just been submitted to journals or to formally reviewed
conferences
are eligible for being presented at XVI ECG, assuming that it is allowed
by those
venues and they have not appeared by the time of the conference.
Authors of accepted papers are expected to present their papers at the
conference.
Failure to do so will result in removal of the contribution everywhere
in the website.
