[DMANET] EuroCG 2025: First Call for Contributions

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

41st European Workshop on Computational Geometry
Organized as an event of the Computational Geometry Society,
https://computational-geometry.org/
April 9-11, 2025, Liblice, Czech Republic
https://kam.mff.cuni.cz/conferences/eurocg2025/

EuroCG 2025 will be held on April 9-11, 2025 in Liblice, Czech Republic.
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 21, 2025
Acceptance Notification: February 21, 2025
Early Registration ends: March 5, 2025
Camera-ready version: March 7, 2025
EuroCG 2025: April 9-11, 2025
All deadlines are 23:59 AoE.

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

- Oswin Aichholzer (Graz University of Technology)
- Eva Rotenberg (Technical University of Denmark)
- Uli Wagner (Institute of Science and Technology Austria)

=============
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,
- applications of computational geometry,
- geographic information systems,
- robotics and virtual worlds, and
- computer-aided design and manufacturing.

=========
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.

Authors must use the LaTeX class files euroCG25 and eurocg25-submission,
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 at
https://kam.mff.cuni.cz/conferences/eurocg2025/.

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. For this
reason authors are not requested to hide their names and affiliations at
the time of their submission (the review process will not be double blind).

- 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 in a conference and/or journal at the date of the
EuroCG submission deadline. However, we do explicitly allow submissions
that are under review at another
conference or journal at the date of the EuroCG submission deadline.
- 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.

Authors of selected papers will be invited to submit extended versions to a
special issue of the Computing in Geometry and Topology (CGT) journal.

There will also be a voting for the Best Student Presentation.

==========================================
Presentation of the papers and conference attendance
==========================================

EuroCG is dedicated to providing an environment that is free from
harassment, bullying, discrimination, and retaliation for all participants.
According to the decision taken at EuroCG 2024 [
https://computational-geometry.org/eurocg/], from 2025 onwards EuroCG will
be organized as an event of the CG Society [
https://computational-geometry.org/society/]. Only members of the Society
can attend EuroCG. Society membership is free. All members of the Society
are bound by its Code of Conduct [
https://computational-geometry.org/society/code-of-conduct/]. A person
whose membership has been suspended, for example by the Code of Conduct
Committee [https://computational-geometry.org/society/code-of-conduct/#ccc],
cannot attend EuroCG in person.

EuroCG is fundamentally an in-person event and all presentations are
expected to be given in person. Hence at least one author of an accepted
contribution must become a member of the society and attend EuroCG. If no
author of an accepted contribution is attending EuroCG, then the
contribution may be removed from the program, the booklet of abstracts, and
the conference website.
