Second Call for Papers EuroCG'08

24th European Workshop on Computational Geometry
March 18 - 20, 2008, Nancy, France 
http://eurocg08.loria.fr/

  The annual European Workshop on Computational Geometry is an
 important scientific event which provides a forum for established
 researchers from academia, as well as R&D people from industry and
 research students to present their current work. The goal is to bring
 together researchers from Computational Geometry and related areas in
 an informal atmosphere, in order to establish scientific interaction
 and to foster international collaboration.

  The 24th European Workshop on Computational Geometry will take place
 on March 18 - 20, 2008, at the Laboratoire Lorrain de Recherche en
 Informatique et ses Applications (LORIA), Nancy, France.

  Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: 

    * 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 modelling, visualization and simulation
    * combinatorial optimization
    * computer-aided design and manufacturing
    * structural molecular biology
    * geographic information systems
    * robotics and virtual worlds

Invited Speakers:

  Pierre Alliez (INRIA Sophia-Antipolis)
  Jean Ponce (ENS Paris)
  Fabrice Rouillier (INRIA Paris-Rocquencourt)

Satelite event: CGAL Innovations and Applications 
http://www.cgal.org/UserWorkshop/index.html

  A joint one-day workshop CGAL Innovations and Applications: Robust
 geometric software for complex shapes will be held on Monday, March
 17th. This one day event around the Computational Geometry Algorithms
 Library CGAL will bring together CGAL users from academia and
 industry, and CGAL developers. The most recent advances in CGAL will
 be presented, as well as CGAL's cutting-edge use in research and
 development. In addition, there will be ample opportunity to meet in
 an informal atmosphere with the CGAL developers.

  This event is an initiative of the European project Algorithms for
 Complex Shapes and will be organized by Andreas Fabri (chair,
 director of Geometry Factory), Dan Halperin (Tel Aviv University)
 and Gert Vegter (University of Groningen, ACS coordinator).

Submissions: 

We invite submissions of extended abstracts of original research. 
The submission and final accepted version should be of at most 4 pages
 and submitted through EasyChair at
"http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=EuroCG08" by Monday, January 14,
2008 (midnight GMT). 
Detailed guidelines for the submission  can be found at "http://eurocg08.loria.fr/submission.php". 
Acceptance notification will be on Monday, January 28 and final version will be
due by Monday, February 11, 2008. 
Accepted extended abstracts will be collected in a booklet which will be distributed
among the workshop participants. There will be no other proceedings,
so that preliminary work may later be presented in a more complete
form at another conference. There will be a 15-20 minutes presentation of
each accepted extended abstract during the Workshop. A selection of
accepted papers will be invited to special issues of Computational Geometry,
Theory and Applications.

Important Dates: 

 Submission deadline: Monday, January 14, 2008
