[DMANET] Final CFP: CGTA Special Issue on Experimental Aspects of Computational Geometry

FINAL CALL FOR PAPERS

Special Issue on Experimental Aspects of Computational Geometry
of
Computational Geometry: Theory and Applications


CGTA is known as a forum for all aspects of computational geometry. The
emphasis of this special issue is on original results that bridge the
often wide gaps between theory and practice by algorithm engineering and
careful experimental evaluation. This includes but is not limited to
numerical, graph theoretical, and combinatorial aspects of computational
geometry as well as algorithms and data structures with a geometric
flavor that arise in application areas, such as computer graphics,
pattern recognition, robotics, image processing, visual computing, graph
drawing, computer-aided (geometric) design and computer-aided
manufacturing, VLSI design, operations research and computational
optimization, and geographical information systems.

This special issue will be edited by Martin Held, Martin Nöllenburg and
Peter Sanders.

New extended deadline for manuscript submission: 15-August-2021.


Manuscript Submission Information
==================================

Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions will be
thoroughly evaluated in a single-blind peer-review process by at least
three independent reviewers on the basis of relevance for the special
issue, novelty, clarity, originality, significance of contribution,
technical quality, and quality of presentation. The guest editors
reserve the right to reject without review any submissions deemed to be
outside the scope of the special issue. Authors are welcome to contact
the special issue editors with questions about scope before preparing a
submission.

Manuscripts submitted for review should represent original, previously
unpublished work or surveys of important results. At the time of
submission, and for the entire review period, the paper (or essentially
the same paper) should neither be under review by any conference with
published proceedings nor by a scientific journal. If any portion of
your submission has previously appeared in or will appear in
conference/workshop proceedings, you should notify this at the time of
submission, make sure that the submission references the conference
publication, and supply a copy of the conference version(s). Please also
provide a brief description of the differences between the submitted
manuscript and the preliminary version(s).

Authors are encouraged to include a link to the source code and/or
datasets (e.g. on the OSF.io platform) to increase confidence in the
reproducibility of their experiments. Codes provided by the authors may
be read and/or executed at the reviewers' discretion.

Manuscripts should be submitted online via Elsevier's Editorial Manager;
see https://www.editorialmanager.com/comgeo/default.aspx. We refer to
https://www.elsevier.com/journals/computational-geometry/0925-7721/guide-for-authors
for a general guide for authors.

Accepted papers will be published continuously online (as soon as
accepted). Hence, there will be no delay due to one slow paper.


Open-Access Policy
==================

In addition to the standard open access options of CGTA
(https://www.elsevier.com/journals/computational-geometry/0925-7721/open-access-options)
all papers in this special issue will be freely available for the first
six months after publication.
