CCCG 2024 - Second Call for Papers
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The 36th Canadian Conference on Computational Geometry (CCCG 2024) will take place from July 17th - 19th at Brock University, St. Catharines, Ontario, Canada, situated in the beautiful Niagara region.
The Canadian Conference on Computational Geometry is a forum to disseminate and discuss theoretical and applied results in areas of computational geometry including, but not limited to, approximation algorithms, parameterized algorithms, distributed and parallel algorithms, data structure, topology, online algorithms, randomized algorithms. The areas of applications include optimization, graph analysis, bioinformatics, visualization, information retrieval, machine learning and algorithmic game theory, among others.

Call for Paper
We are inviting original papers describing research of theoretical or practical significance in computational, combinatorial and discrete geometry and related areas. Submissions will be refereed by the Program Committee. Submissions should not exceed six pages, excluding references and appendices. Documents must be prepared using LaTeX using the following template.
CCCG_2024_Latex_template.zip<https://cosc.brocku.ca/~rnishat/CCCG2024-tex-template.zip>
Additional details of the paper that do not fit in the six pages can be included in a clearly marked appendix, which will be read at the discretion of the Program Committee. Papers that do not follow these guidelines will risk rejection without considering their merits.
Simultaneous submission to another conference or journal is not allowed. Accepted papers are expected to be presented in-person at the conference. At least one registration per accepted paper is required. Failure to do so will result in removal of the paper from the proceedings. Authors of selected papers will be invited to submit extended versions to a special issue of the open-access journal Computing in Geometry and Topology<https://www.cgt-journal.org/index.php/cgt>.
We are using Microsoft CMT system to manage paper submissions. Here is the link to the submission site: https://cmt3.research.microsoft.com/CCCG2024.
If you are using it for the first time, you will need to create an account. The submission form is self-explanatory. Under subject area, please specify a short description of the main (sub)area your submission belongs to. This information may be used in reviewer assignment process. If you experience any difficulties with the submission system, please, contact the Local Organizer.
Double-Blind Review Process:
This year, we will have a double-blind review process for the regular papers, i.e., neither the authors nor the reviewers would know the identity of the other party during the review process. The authors are expected to take all reasonable steps to keep their identity hidden, including not listing their names or affiliations and omitting acknowledgements; that information will be included in the published version should the paper be accepted.
PhD Dissertation Award
This year we have an award for the best PhD dissertation on Computational Geometry. The award is open to any PhD thesis that was/will be defended between 1 January 2023 and the submission deadline of CCCG 2024, by a PhD student at any university (not restricted to Canadian universities).
A nomination should be submitted by the PhD student's examining committee (e.g., by the thesis advisor). Please select "PhD dissertation" as your subject area during submission. In the zip file to submit, please include the following.
* The PhD dissertation in pdf format.
* A recommendation/evaluation letter (at most 3 pages) from the supervisor. An additional endorsement by a member of the supervisory committee may be submitted.
* A cover letter written by the thesis supervisor/advisor including the following information:
* Name and email address of the candidate;
* Title of the dissertation;
* Department that has awarded the PhD and the name of the PhD program;
* Date of the successful/scheduled defense of the thesis
The Steering Committee of CCCG will evaluate the dissertations. The winner of the PhD award is expected to attend the conference to present a talk on their thesis and be presented with the award.
