===============================
Eurographics 2009, the 30th Annual Conference of the European Association
for Computer Graphics, will take place from March 30 to April 3, 2009, in
Munich, Germany. It will be organized on the Research Campus Garching of the
Technische Universität München. Eurographics 2009 will provide a unique
platform for the computer graphics community to showcase latest techniques
and educational work, and to explore new trends and ideas, and it will also
offer the opportunity to demonstrate products and services to this
community.
Authors are invited to submit original work presenting fundamental research,
practice and experience, or novel applications in all areas of computer
graphics, and related topics thereof.
Eurographics 2009 will have a special focus on computational graphics and
explorative interaction, including new trends in rendering algorithms and
systems, and interactive visual exploration of geospatial data.
Co-located with Eurographics 2009 are the following Events: the Computer
Graphics Education Workshop, the Eurographics Symposium on Parallel Graphics
and Visualization (EGPGV), the Eurographics Workshop on 3D Object Retrieval,
and the Eurographics Workshop on Natural Phenomena.
SECOND CALL FOR PAPERS
Geometric Constraints and Reasoning
a technical track of
The International ACM Symposium on Applied Computing
SAC2009
March 8-12, 2009
Waikiki Beach, Honolulu, Hawaii, USA
Geometric Constraints and Reasoning (GCR) is a technical track of the
International Symposium on Applied Computing (see
http://www.acm.org/conferences/sac/sac2009). For the past twenty
years the ACM Symposium on Applied Computing (SAC) has been a primary
forum for applied computer scientists, computer engineers and
application developers to gather, interact, and present their
work. SAC is sponsored by the ACM Special Interest Group on Applied
Computing (SIGAPP), its proceedings are published by ACM in both
printed form and CD-ROM; they are also available on the web through
ACM's Digital Library. More information about SIGAPP and past SACs can
be found at URL: http://www.acm.org/sigapp.
As a special track of SAC, the GCR is devoted to geometric reasoning
taken in a broad sense. Initially, this track focused on geometric
constraint solving but it appears that geometric computing and
reasoning is closely related to this topic. Our aim is then to widen
the audience and to make GCR a place where the communities of
geometric constraint solving, computer aided deduction in geometry
and related disciplines can meet and have fruitful exchanges.
See http://www.lsi.upc.edu/~robert/gcr2009/gcr2009.html.
SAC 2009 is also an opportunity to attend tracks related to GCR, about
combinatorial optimization, constraint programming (non geometrical
constraints), graph algorithms, numerical methods or interval
analysis, etc.
TOPICS
Specific topics of interest for the GCR track include, but are not
limited to, the following:
* Resolution of geometric constraints, with computer algebra, numerical
analysis, interval analysis, logical approaches (e.g. provers), or other
methods.
* Proving geometric theorems with logical approaches, deductive databases,
Computer Algebra, etc.
* Decomposition of systems of geometric constraints.
* Mixing geometric and non geometric constraints (combinatorial or
logical),
white boxes, black boxes, geometric constraints and constraints
programming.
* Detection of dependences between constraints, debugging geometric
constraints.
* Constrained curves, surfaces, blends.
* Exotic (eg non cartesian) formulations of constraints.
* Comparison of resolution methods or constraints formulations for
the same problems.
* Mathematical background: combinatorial rigidity, graph theory,
matroid theory, computer algebra (polynomial systems, dimension of
ideals).
* Applications in Computer Graphics, CAD-CAM, robotics,
mechanism design, chemistry (eg molecule configurations),
photogrammetry,
virtual reality.
* Sensitivity to parameters vales and other robustness issues,
* Geometry of computations: using topological ad geometrical ideas
in provers.
* Dynamic geometry, pedagogical purposes, generating explanations,
examples, counter examples.
* Computer-human interfaces for geometric constraints.
* Geometric constraints and data exchange.
* Topological constraints, eg optimal curves or surfaces with prescribed,
topology (homology, homotopy, isotopy).
* Shape optimization.
* Integration of geometric solvers into modelers, solvers architecture.
* Geometric constraints and Human Computer interfaces.
* Persistent naming problem and geometric modeling by constraints.
Authors are invited to contribute original papers in the listed or
other realted topics in the following categories of submissions:
1) Original and unpublished research work.
2) Reports of innovative applications to the arts, sciences,
engineering, and business areas.
3) Reports of successful technology transfer to new problem domains.
4) Reports of industrial experience and demos of new innovative systems.
All submissions will be peer reviewed. Papers will be selected based on
their originality, timeliness, significance relevance and clarity of
presentation.
JOURNAL PUBLICATION
Authors of selected papers of outstanding quality that have been
presented at GCR'09 will be invited to submit a full length version to
a special issue of Computational Geometry: Theory and Applications.
