*SoCG Test of Time Award 2023*

*Call for Nominations*

The SoCG Test of Time Award, instated three years ago, recognizes papers
published at the Proceedings of the Annual Symposium on Computational
Geometry (SoCG). An award will be given to a paper published in SoCG no
later than 2003. More than one paper may be selected for the award.

*Nomination Procedure*

Anyone in the computational geometry community may nominate a paper by
submitting the nomination via e-mail to socgtot@gmail.com
<mailto:socgtot@gmail.com > with a subject line of *SoCG Test of Time
Award. *The nomination should contain a brief explanation of the impact
of the nominated paper(s). The deadline for submitting the nomination is
*February 28, 2023*.

*Selection*

The winners are selected by a committee appointed by the SoCG steering
committee and for 2023 it consists of Pankaj K. Agarwal (Duke
University), Siu-Wing Cheng (HKUST), and Raimund Seidel (Saarland
University).

In selecting the Test of Time Award, the Committee will pay particular
attention to long term impact. This impact can come in many forms and
some possibilities are to: (i) open up a new area of research; (ii)
introduce new techniques; (iii) solve a problem of lasting importance.
The selection will be announced by *March 15, 2023.*

*About the Award*

This is the fourth SoCG Test of Time Award. The winners of the previous
awards can be found at
