European Workshop on Computational Geometry
EuroCG 2015
Ljubljana, Slovenia, March 15th and 18th, 2015.
http://eurocg15.fri.uni-lj.si/

The 31st European Workshop on Computational Geometry (EuroCG 2015)
will be held on March 15-18 2015 in Ljubljana, Slovenia, with talks
happening from March 16 to 18. EuroCG is an annual workshop that
combines a strong scientific tradition with a friendly and informal
atmosphere. The workshop is a forum where researchers can meet,
discuss their work, present their results, and establish scientific
collaborations. Topics of interest cover all aspects of computational
geometry, including 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
- computer-aided design and manufacturing
- geographic information systems
- robotics and virtual worlds

Submission and Proceedings

We invite authors to submit extended abstracts (4 pages, two columns)
of original research. Submissions will be handled through EasyChair
(https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=eurocg15). We remark that
EuroCG does not have formally reviewed proceedings. The abstracts will
be made available 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 just been submitted to other
formally reviewed conferences are eligible for being presented at
EuroCG, assuming they have not appeared by the time of the conference.

Subject: [DMANET] CG Week Multimedia Exposition - First Call for
Submissions
Message-ID: <54686BD3.9090605@cs.princeton.edu>
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=windows-1252; format=flowed

Video and multimedia contributions are sought for the 24th Multimedia
Exposition in Computational Geometry, a part of CG Week 2015. This
event showcases the use of visualization in computational geometry
for exposition and education, for visual exploration of geometry in
research, and as an interface and a debugging tool in software
development. Algorithm animations, visual explanations of structural
theorems, descriptions of applications of computational geometry,
demonstrations of software systems, and games that illustrate
concepts from computational geometry are all appropriate. There are
no limitations on creativity, anything that leverages the
possibilities of multimedia to enlighten and entertain the viewer
while learning about computational geometry will do. This includes
rendered animation, films with narrators and/or actors, and
interactive stories.

We seek submissions of high quality, judged by how well they exploit
the creative possibilities of their respective formats. That is, a
screencast of static slides with some voice-over will hardly do.


QUALITY ISSUES

The "formatting" for Video and Multimedia submissions is more
influential on the acceptance than for paper submission. For videos,
a length of three to five minutes is usually ideal; ten minutes is
the upper limit. For the final version, we require video in 720P or
better, using H.264. The embedded audio stream should be AAC of at
least 128kBit/s. Telephone-sounding audio (limited frequency range,
noise) or live rooms, as often recorded with cheap headsets, must be
avoided, as well as speakers with too heavy accent.

There are no general guidelines for other content. Interactive
applications (e.g., HTML5, Flash, AIR, Java, etc.) should have a
"demo" mode where the algorithm runs on its own. They should be
submitted as a distributable package.

To conserve resources, please try to keep your submission at a
reasonable size. The program committee may recode the submission at a
lower quality to reduce the space requirements. 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 archived on
computational-geometry.org

It is strongly encouraged to contact the PC well in advance
to 1) discuss the quality of a video submission (based on sample
files) or 2) to present your non-video idea and how it could be
reviewed, presented, and distributed.


SUBMISSION

Submissions should be deposited online where they are accessible
through the web or via FTP. A video submission should play
trouble-free on programs like VLC Media Player. For ease of sharing
and viewing, we encourage (but do not require) that each video
submission be uploaded to YouTube, and that the corresponding URL be
included with the submission.

Each submission should include a three-page description of the
material shown in the presentation, and where applicable, the
techniques used in the implementation. This three-page description
must be formatted according to the guidelines for the conference
proceedings, using the LIPIcs format. LIPIcs typesetting instructions
can be found at http://www.dagstuhl.de/en/publications/lipics and
the lipics.cls LaTeX style file at
http://drops.dagstuhl.de/styles/lipics/lipics-authors.tgz.

Send a mail to the committee chair, Wolfgang Mulzer
(mulzer@inf.fu-berlin.de) by February 13, 2015, 23:59 (UTC-12), with
the following information:
- the names and institutions of the authors
- the email address of the corresponding author
- instructions for downloading the submission
- if available: the link to the YouTube video
- and the PDF abstract.

We explicitly encourage video/multimedia submissions that support
papers submitted to the Symposium on Computational Geometry. However,
submitted papers and associated video/multimedia submissions will be
treated entirely separately by the respective committees: acceptance or
rejection of one will not influence acceptance or rejection of the
other. Authors will be notified of acceptance or rejection, and given
reviewers' comments, by March 09, 2015. For each accepted submission,
the final version of the 3-page textual description will be due by
March 23, 2015 for inclusion in the proceedings. Final versions of
accepted video/multimedia presentations will be due April 30, 2015.


IMPORTANT DATES

February 13, 2015: Video and multimedia submissions due
March 9, 2015: Notification of acceptance/rejection of
videos/multimedia
March 23, 2015: Camera-ready versions due for papers and video
