[DMANET] SoCG 2026 Call for Papers

Dear colleagues,

below is a short version of the call for papers for the 42nd International
Symposium on Computational Geometry (SoCG 2026). The full version can be found
on the conference webpage at cgweek26.computational-geometry.org/contribute/.

Kind regards,
Hee-Kap Ahn, Michael Hoffmann, and Amir Nayyeri

===============================================================================
New! To strengthen and promote research on practical aspects of computational
geometry and topology, as well as connections to other fields, SoCG 2026
introduces a new track that specifically focuses on these aspects, such as
implementation, engineering, experimentation, and applications.

CALL FOR PAPERS — 42nd International Symposium of Computational Geometry (SoCG'26)

The 42nd International Symposium on Computational Geometry (SoCG 2026) is planned
to be held in New Brunswick, NJ, USA, June 2–5, 2026, as part of the Computational
Geometry (CG) Week.

We invite high quality submissions that describe original research on the theory
and practice of computational problems in a geometric and/or topological setting.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

* Design, analysis, and implementation of geometric algorithms and data structures;
* Computational complexity of geometric problems;
* Implementation and experimental evaluation of geometric algorithms and heuristics,
including mathematical, numerical, and algebraic aspects;
* Discrete and combinatorial geometry;
* Computational topology, topological data analysis, and topological combinatorics;
* Applications of computational geometry or topology in any field.

TWO TRACKS: To help ensure that each contribution is evaluated according to its
merits, the submission and review process is organized in two tracks:
Track T (Theory) and Track P (Practice).

IMPORTANT DATES:
* November 25, 2025 (Tuesday): Abstracts and paper registration due (23:59 aoE)
* December 2, 2025 (Tuesday): Papers due (23:59 aoE)
* February 5, 2026 (Thursday): Notification of acceptance/rejection
* March 24, 2026 (Tuesday): Final versions of accepted papers due
* June 2–5, 2026: Symposium
