=====================================================================
The 36th Symposium on Computational Geometry (SoCG) will take place June
23-26, 2020 in Zürich, Switzerland. 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 2020". See
https://socg20.inf.ethz.ch/ 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 2018) 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.
- Submissions must be formatted in accordance with the LIPIcs
proceedings guidelines (http://www.dagstuhl.de/en/publications/lipics)
and not exceed 80 lines, excluding front matter, references. To ensure
an accurate line counting, authors must use the LaTeX class file
socg-lipics-v2019, which is a wrapper around the standard class
(available at http://computational-geometry.org). Authors should refrain
from putting excessive amounts of texts in parts in which lines are not
counted automatically.
- Submissions can contain an appendix of arbitrary length to provide
further details for the screening process, but the main body of the text
should be understandable without reading the appendix. Appendices will
also not be contained in the booklet (see below).
- The EasyChair submission link is
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=cgweek2020
- 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.
Early Submission:
-----------------
Some young researchers need more time to arrange for travel, visas, or
funding. For such cases, we have an early deadline for which there will
be an early notification of conditional acceptance. All submissions will
be judged according to the same standards of quality regardless of which
submission date was used. The early submission date is before the SoCG
notification date, and so it is acceptable to have parallel submission
of the same results; however, it will be expected that the YRF
submission will be withdrawn if the full paper is accepted to SoCG. The
reviewing for YRF is completely independent of the reviewing for SoCG.
