[DMANET] Computational Geometry: Media Exposition -- First Announcement

Computational Geometry: Media Exposition -- First Announcement
==============================================================

Media, Visualizations, and Geometric Art are sought for the /29th
International Computational Geometry Media Exposition (CG:ME)/, which
will take place as part of Computational Geometry Week 2020,
encompassing the /35th International Symposium on Computational
Geometry/. Submissions showcase creative approaches to illustrate
research and/or support education in computational geometry.

DATES
=====
All deadlines are 23:59 anywhere on earth.

* February 21, 2020Abstract and media portfolio submissions due
* March 8, 2020Notification of acceptance/rejection
* March 30, 2020Final version of abstract and portfolio
* June 23-26, 2020Computational Geometry Week


CONTENT
=======

* The submission should be related to computational geometry, broadly
interpreted, but is otherwise unrestricted: for example, it can
illustrate a (new or existing) concept, technique or algorithm from
computational geometry, it can explain an application of
computational geometry, it can be meant for educational purposes or
for entertainment purposes, and so on.

* The form of media is broad, including algorithm animations,
interactive software and games, scientific artwork, sculptures,
paintings, and virtual reality demonstrations. While videos are
welcome, they are no longer required as in previous years.


SUBMISSION
==========
A submission consists of two parts: a portfolio and a paper.

* Submit a portfolio of the work, such as images, video, link to
interactive apps, etc.  The submission should still be "displayable"
during CGweek, and the authors should specify in their submission
how the piece will be displayed. For example, if it is about a
geometry-inspired sculpture, then one can bring the sculpture
itself, or submit a video about this sculpture, its story and its
connection to computational geometry. Note that if your work is a
video, then the portfolio and the work are in fact identical.

* Submit a paper which details the portfolio and where applicable, the
techniques used in the implementation. The paper should explain the
connection of the submission to computational geometry, broadly
interpreted.

* Acceptance is based on both the submitted portfolio and the
accompanying paper.

Technical Details

* Portfolio submissions are limited to 100 MB. Authors are free to
post higher quality versions on their own web sites, and we will
include links in the electronic proceedings to their version, in
addition to the official version (<100 MB) archived on
http://www.computational-geometry.org
<https://urldefense.com/v3/__http://www.computational-geometry.org/__;!!KGKeukY!nRB4rdQSVgfdOKYJVoMnlcb7DpOmE6vxOeUxAcsWvBKIT4Ps4HHXz2nOXmsqprjLOn7Iog$>

* Videos should be 720p or better, using H.264, where the embedded
audio stream should be AAC of at least 128kBit/s.

* The paper must be formatted according to the guidelines for the
conference proceedings using the LIPIcs format, and not
exceed 100 lines, excluding front matter and references.  The number
of images in the paper should also be kept reasonable. Typesetting
instructions and the .cls style file are available on the CG
website: http://www.computational-geometry.org

EVENT
=====

* The Work will be on display at a gallery during Computational
Geometry Week.

* The authors will have a session devoted to giving a short talk on
their work at the Symposium on Computational Geometry.
