[DMANET] Last CfP (deadline is approaching!): 38th European Workshop on Computational Geometry (EuroCG 2022)

================
Call for Contributions
================

The 38th European Workshop on Computational Geometry
March 14-16 2022, Perugia, Italy
https://eurocg2022.unipg.it/

EuroCG 2022 will be held March 14-16, 2022 in Perugia, Italy. EuroCG is
an annual workshop that combines a strong scientific tradition with a
friendly and informal atmosphere. The workshop is a forum where
established researchers and students can meet, discuss their work,
present their results, and establish scientific collaborations.

=============
Important Dates
=============

Submission Deadline: January 11, 2022
Acceptance Notification: February 11, 2022
Early Registration ends: February 25, 2022
Camera-ready version: February 25, 2022
EuroCG 2022: March 14–16, 2022
All deadlines are 23:59 AoE.

======
Format
======

Given the current status of the COVID-19 pandemic in Europe, we
currently aim at having an in-person workshop. The meeting will be held
in accordance with all the Italian and European regulations and
recommendations that will be in place at that time. There might be an
upper bound on the number of accepted in-person participants, and in
such a case priority will be given to paper authors and presenters. As
we understand that it might still be difficult for some authors to
travel due to various restrictions, we will guarantee the possibility of
giving an online talk and all talks will be streamed. Any update or
change in the workshop format will be published on the conference
website and promptly announced.

=============
Invited speakers
=============

- Leila De Floriani, University of Maryland at College Park, USA
- Michael Hoffmann, ETH Zürich, Switzerland
- Maurizio Patrignani, Università degli Studi Roma Tre, Italy

=============
Topics of interest
=============

Topics of interest cover all aspects of computational geometry,
including but not limited to the following:
- discrete and combinatorial geometry and topology,
- design and analysis of geometric algorithms and data structures,
- implementation and experimental evaluation of geometric algorithms,
- numerical and algebraic issues arising from implementations,
- analysis of geometric configurations,
- geometric modeling, visualization and simulation,
- combinatorial optimization,
- graph drawing,
- structural molecular biology,
- geometric puzzle analysis,
- geographic information systems,
- robotics and virtual worlds, and
- computer-aided design and manufacturing.

===============================
Best Student Presentation Award
===============================

To recognize the effort of young researchers to present their work
clearly and elegantly, a Best Student Presentation Award will be voted
on by the EuroCG 2022 attendees.

=========
Submission
=========

We invite authors to submit extended abstracts of their original
research. Submissions must be formatted in LaTeX using a supplied class
file, and not be longer than 175 lines of text. Submissions will be
handled through EasyChair
<https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=eurocg2022>.

Authors must use the LaTeX class files eurocg22
<https://eurocg2022.unipg.it/latex/eurocg22.cls> and eurocg22-submission
<https://eurocg2022.unipg.it/latex/eurocg22-submission.cls>, which are
based on the LIPICS class file. These class files should automatically
count all lines containing text, excluding title and references, and
excluding figures. Authors are expected to make reasonable effort to
make sure all lines that contain text are counted: the class file should
be considered an aid, and the responsibility of correctly counting lines
remains with the authors. A zip file containing an example of how to use
the class file can be found here
<https://eurocg2022.unipg.it/latex/eurocg22-ex.zip>.

Your submission should provide a clear statement of your results
including proofs. The main (175 line) body of your submission should be
self-contained and contain a clear and succinct description of your
results. Content that does not fit in the main body due to space
restrictions must be placed into a clearly marked appendix, which will
only be read at the discretion of the program committee.

==============
Acceptance Policy
==============

EuroCG is a non-competitive forum.  We will accept all submissions which
are original, correct, well-presented, non-trivial, and in scope. The
program committee judges submissions on these five criteria, each of
which can lead to rejection. If a submission satisfies all criteria,
then it will be accepted: there is no competition against other submissions.

- Originality: If a submission does not contain original research by the
authors, or if there is good reason to believe this is the case, this is
a reason for rejection. We do not accept submissions which have already
been accepted for publication elsewhere. However, we do explicitly allow
submissions that are under review at another conference or journal (at
the time of submission to EuroCG).
- Correctness. If the main / a major result of a submission is not
correct, this is a reason for rejection. If an attentive reviewer cannot
establish correctness of the results from the content of the submission,
this is a reason for rejection. However, an acceptance at EuroCG is no
correctness guarantee.
- Presentation. If a submission is written in a way that makes it
unreadable, or it does not follow the submission guidelines as listed in
the call for contributions, this is a reason for rejection.
- Technical Depth. If a submission is trivial, this is a reason for
rejection. However, there is no "minimum level" of technical depth required.
- Scope. If a submission is out of scope, this is a reason for
rejection. However, we wish to be inclusive in our interpretation of
scope, which includes but is not limited to the list of topics in the
call for contributions.

==========
Proceedings
==========

EuroCG does not have formally reviewed proceedings. A booklet of
abstracts, without ISBN, will be accessible online on the website for
the benefit of the community and must be regarded as a collection of
preprints rather than a formally reviewed selection of papers. Results
presented at EuroCG are expected to appear in other conferences with
formal proceedings and/or in journals. In particular, papers that have
been submitted to other formally reviewed conferences are eligible for
presentation at EuroCG, assuming they have not been presented at a
conference or published in a journal by the time of the conference.
Authors of selected papers will be invited to submit extended versions
to a special issue of the Computational Geometry: Theory and
Applications journal.

Authors of accepted submissions are expected to present their work at
the conference (either in-person or online). Failure to do so may result
in removal of the contribution from the abstract booklet and conference
website.
