4. There will be a 25min hike by the Grand River on Thursday before the banquet so you might want to bring comfortable shoes.
5. Talks will take place in the Davis Centre (DC) rooms DC 1302 and DC 1304, with coffee breaks and registration in DC 1301 (the fishbowl).

CALL FOR PAPERS

The 25th Canadian Conference on Computational Geometry (CCCG 2013) will be held on August 8-10, 2013, in Waterloo, Ontario, Canada. There will be a reception on the evening of the 7th.

CCCG has a tradition of being welcoming to students. It is expected that there will be partial travel support for students and postdocs.

SCOPE

CCCG focuses on the design of efficient algorithms, the development of software, and the study of the mathematical foundations of computational problems whose formulations involve geometric constraints. The field of computational geometry is motivated by problems from a broad range of application areas, as diverse as computer graphics and animation, computer vision, computer-aided design and manufacturing, geographic information systems, pattern recognition, wireless communications, robotics, protein folding, urban planning, graph drawing, or statistical analysis to name just a few. Authors are invited to submit papers describing original research of theoretical or practical significance in computational, combinatorial and discrete geometry, as well as related areas.

AUDIENCE

CCCG is an international forum, accessible to a broad community of researchers, to disseminate and discuss new theoretical and applied results in discrete and computational geometry. The intended audience for this conference includes graduate and undergraduate students, researchers in the area, and members of industry whose work involves geometric computation.

SUBMISSION DETAILS

Submissions should not exceed six pages, must be submitted electronically, and must be prepared using LaTeX; the appropriate template is available from the conference website. Authors who feel that additional details are necessary should include a clearly marked appendix, which will be read at the discretion of the Program Committee. Each submission will be refereed by at least three members of the Program Committee. Details on the submission procedure are outlined on the conference website. Six-page papers accepted at CCCG will appear in the printed proceedings of the conference, provided that they are presented by a speaker at the conference. Electronic proceedings without page limits will be hosted at http://cccg.ca

Selected papers from the conference will be invited for submission to a special issue of the journal Computational Geometry: Theory and Applications.

Simultaneous submission to another conference or journal is not allowed.

Submission is now open at EasyChair!

SUBMISSION FORMAT

You are required to use the cccg13.cls style file. The .cls file and a sample .tex file that uses it are here:

Please use pdflatex. If you cannot, then specify letter size when compiling.
