[DMANET] EuroCG 2021: Deadline extended

***********************************

DEADLINE EXTENDED: new deadline January 18, 2021

***********************************


CALL FOR CONTRIBUTIONS

======================


EuroCG 2021 will be held April 7-9, 2021 online due to the COVID-19 pandemic (originally planned to be held in Saint Petersburg, Russia). EuroCG is an annual workshop that combines a strong scientific tradition with a friendly and informal atmosphere. The workshop is a forum where established researchers and students can meet, discuss their work, present their results, and establish scientific collaborations. We will do our best to enable an informal communication among the participants in the online format. More information about the event can be found at http://eurocg21.spbu.ru<http://eurocg21.spbu.ru/>

Topics of interest cover all aspects of computational geometry, including but not limited to the following:


- discrete and combinatorial geometry and topology,

- design and analysis of geometric algorithms and data structures,

- implementation and experimental evaluation of geometric algorithms,

- numerical and algebraic issues arising from implementations,

- analysis of geometric configurations,

- geometric modeling, visualization and simulation,

- combinatorial optimization,

- graph drawing,

- structural molecular biology,

- geometric puzzle analysis,

- geographic information systems,

- robotics and virtual worlds, and

- computer-aided design and manufacturing.



Best Student Presentation Award

-------------------------------

To recognize the effort of young researchers to present their work in a clear and elegant way, there will be a Best Student Presentation Award voted on by the EuroCG 2021 attendees.



Submission

----------

We invite authors to submit extended abstracts of their original research. Submissions must be formatted in LaTeX using a supplied class file, and not be longer than 175 lines of text. Submissions will be handled through EasyChair<https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=eurocg2021>. For more information on how to format the submission please refer to the conference website http://eurocg21.spbu.ru/call-for-contributions/.


Your submission should provide a clear statement of your results including proofs. The main (175 line) body of your submission should be self-contained and contain a clear and succinct description of your results. Content that does not fit in the main body due to space restrictions must be placed into a clearly marked appendix, which will only be read at the discretion of the program committee.



Acceptance policy

----------

EuroCG is a non-competitive forum. We will accept all submissions which are original, correct, well-presented, non-trivial, and in scope. The program committee judges submissions on these five criteria, each of which can lead to rejection. If a submission satisfies all criteria, then it will be accepted: there is no competition against other submissions.


* Originality: If a submission does not contain original research by the authors, or if there is good reason to believe this is the case, this is a reason for rejection. We do not accept submissions which have already been accepted for publication elsewhere. However, we do explicitly allow submissions that are under review at another conference or journal (at the time of submission to EuroCG).
* Correctness. If the main / a major result of a submission is not correct, this is a reason for rejection. If an attentive reviewer can establish correctness of the results from the content of the submission, this is a reason for rejection. However, an acceptance at EuroCG is no correctness guarantee.
* Presentation. If a submission is written in a way that makes it unreadable, or it does not follow the submission guidelines as listed in the call for contributions, this is a reason for rejection.
* Technical Depth. If a submission is trivial, this is a reason for rejection. However, there is no "minimum level" of technical depth required.
* Scope. If a submission is out of scope, this is a reason for rejection. However, we wish to be inclusive in our interpretation of scope, which includes but is not limited to the list of topics in the call for contributions.



Proceedings

-----------

EuroCG does not have formally reviewed proceedings. A booklet of abstracts, without ISBN, will be accessible online from the webpage for the benefit of the community and must be regarded as a collection of preprints rather than a formally reviewed selection of papers. Results presented at EuroCG are expected to appear in other conferences with formal proceedings and/or in journals. In particular, papers that have been submitted to other formally reviewed conferences are eligible for being presented at EuroCG, assuming they have not been presented at a conference or published in a journal by the time of the conference. Authors of selected papers will be invited to submit extended versions to a special issue of the journal Computational Geometry: Theory and Applications.


Authors of accepted submissions are expected to present their work at the online conference. Failure to do so may result in removal of the contribution from the abstract booklet and conference website.
