Canadian Conference on Computational Geometry: CCCG 2010

conference announcement: first call for papers

=== Canadian Conference on Computational Geometry (CCCG 2010) ===
=== August 9-11, 2010, Winnipeg, Canada ===

The 22nd Canadian Conference on Computational Geometry (CCCG 2010)
will be held in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada on August 9-11, 2010, at
the University of Manitoba.

CCCG focuses on the design of efficient algorithms, the development of
software, and the study of the mathematical foundations of
computational problems whose formulations involve geometric
constraints. The field of computational geometry is motivated by
problems from a broad range of application areas, as diverse as
computer graphics and animation, computer vision, computer-aided
design and manufacturing, geographic information systems, pattern
recognition, wireless communications, robotics, urban planning, graph
drawing, or statistical analysis to name just a few.

CCCG is a forum, accessible to a broad community of researchers, to
disseminate and discuss new theoretical and applied results in
discrete and computational geometry. The intended audience for this
conference includes graduate and undergraduate students, researchers
in the area, and members of industry whose work involves geometric
computation. Selected papers from the conference will be invited for
submission to a special issue of the journal Computational Geometry:
Theory and Applications.

=== Submission Details ===

Authors are invited to submit papers describing original research of
theoretical or practical significance in computational geometry.
Submissions will be refereed by the Program Committee. Submissions
should not exceed four pages using 11 point or larger font. Documents
must be prepared using LaTeX; the appropriate template is available
from the conference website. Authors who feel that additional details
are necessary should include a clearly marked appendix, which will be
read at the discretion of the Program Committee. Only electronic
submissions will be accepted. Details on the submission procedure are
outlined on the conference website. Four page abstracts accepted to
CCCG will appear in the printed proceedings of the
conference. Electronic proceedings without page limits will be hosted
on the CCCG website at http://cccg.ca
