=====================================================================
The 34th Symposium on Computational Geometry (SoCG) will take place June
11-14, 2018 in Budapest, Hungary. It brings together the global community
of researchers who work on a large variety of aspects that combine
geometry, algorithms and applications. To allow a broad audience to
actively participate in the community's major scientific event, this year
SoCG will again be accompanied by a series of satellite events, which
together constitute "CG Week 2018". See
http://www.renyi.hu/conferences/socg18/ for details.
One of these satellite events will be the "Computational Geometry: Young
Researchers Forum" (CG:YRF), which is aimed at current and recent students.
The active involvement by students and recent graduates in research,
discussions, and social events has been longstanding tradition in the CG
community. 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.
The YRF presents young researchers (defined as not having received a formal
doctorate before 2016) an opportunity to present their work (in progress as
well as finished results) to the CG community 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.
Submission guidelines:
----------------------
- The idea of the event is for young researchers to present new and ongoing
work. Therefore, the work should not have appeared in print in a formally
reviewed proceedings volume or journal by the time of submission, and at
least one author must be young researcher.
- Topics must fit into the general context of SoCG, as described in the
call for SoCG submissions.
- A submission must be in the form of a 2-page abstract, formatted
according to the same style file as regular SoCG submissions (LIPIcs
typesetting instructions can be found at (
http://www.dagstuhl.de/en/publications/lipics).
- The Easychair submission link is
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=cgweek2018
- Accepted abstracts will be compiled in a booklet of abstracts that will
be distributed among the participants; this should not be considered a
formal publication. In particular, participants are encouraged to submit
(an extended version of) their presented work to a conference with formal
proceedings and/or to a journal.
- The work must be presented at CG:YRF by an author who is a young
researcher. Otherwise, it will be removed from the program.
We will employ a two-phase screening process. After the first review phase,
there will be a notification of either rejection (if the result is clearly
out of scope, or technically incorrect), or conditional acceptance,
accompanied with a description of required changes to be made (either with
respect to content or format). In the second phase, we will check whether
the changes have been implemented satisfactorily. The screening process is
intended to ensure the technical quality of the presented work. Submissions
that are not well-written risk rejection, irrespective of correctness.
Authors are strongly encouraged to have their submissions proofread by
their advisor or another experienced scientist.
