Fw: Announcement: Voronoi Diagrams in Science and Engineering

>
> Call for Papers
>
> The 2nd International Symposium
> on
> Voronoi Diagrams in Science and Engineering
> (http://voronoi.hanyang.ac.kr/vd2005/)
>
> October 10 - 13, 2005
> Hanyang University, Seoul, Korea
>
> -----------------
> Goal and Fields
> -----------------
> The concept of the Voronoi diagram as well as its dual structure, the
> Delaunay diagram, is one of the most fundamental geometric big ideas, and
> has been discovered and re-discovered repeatedly in the history of many
> fields of science and engineering. This concept has become even more
> important because recent development of computational methods enables us
> to compute large-scale Voronoi diagrams in a robust manner, and
consequently
> enables us to apply this idea to practical problems arising in real
worlds.
>
> While the contributions from theoreticians of Voronoi diagrams are and
will be important,
> the discoveries of important real world problems where the
Voronoi/Delaunay diagram
> can contribute will be even more important driving forces for the
evolution of
> Voronoi/Delaunay diagrams.
>
> The goal of this symposium is to exchange ideas among different
> disciplines and different fields of science and engineering. In
particular,
> the interactions and collaborations between theoretical computational
geometers
> and researchers from various domains in science and engineering will be
highly encouraged.
>
> In this year, the symposium extends its scope even further to cover a
rather new
> field of Voronoi diagram, the Voronoi Art. Since the concept of Voronoi is
> universal, it is not surprising to find this concept in not only science
and engineering
> but also arts and literatures.

> Paper Submissions
> -------------------
> Official language is English. Full papers (up to 12 pages in length)
are
> invited from a wide varity of topics related to the Voronoi diagrams, the
Delaunay
> diagrams, their extensions and applications. Submissions will be
evaluated mainly
> on relevance, and also on technical quality and exposition. Authors
should submit
> full papers by e-mail (PDF or postscript) to:
>
> vd2005@voronoi.hanyang.ac.kr

> -------------
> Publications
> -------------
> Accepted papers will appear in the proceedings of the symposium.
> Selected papers will be invited for consideration for publication in
> special issues of International Journal of Computational Geometry &
> Applications (IJCGA) and Journal of Ceramics Processing Research (JCPR).
>
> The submissions of art works on Voronoi Art will be also separately
published,
> and authors are recommened to consult to the website for the details.

> Paper Review Policy
> ---------------------
> The goal of the symposium is to exchange ideas among different
disciplines and
> fields, and hence the research areas will diverge. So, we place emphasis
on gathering
> papers from a wide range of different research fields and will select
papers mainly
> from the viewpoint of relevance of the topics.
