Second CGC Workshop on
Computational Geometry

October 18-19, 1997
Duke University, Durham, NC

Sponsored by
The Center for Geometric Computing
and
The Department of Computer Science, Duke University

We are pleased to have hosted the second annual fall Workshop on Computational Geometry, sponsored by the Center for Geometric Computing, continuing a tradition established by the Mathematical Sciences Institute at SUNY-Stony Brook. The Center for Geometric Computing is a collaborative center of Brown, Duke, and Johns Hopkins Universities, and is funded by the U.S. Army Research Office.

Thanks to the speakers and volunteers who made the workshop a success!


Scope and Format

The aim of this workshop was to bring together researchers from academia, industry, and the Army to stimulate collaboration on problems of common interest arising in geometric computations. Topics covered at the workshop included

  • Algorithmic methods in geometry
  • I/O-scalable geometric algorithms
  • Animation of geometric algorithms
  • Computer graphics
  • Solid modeling
  • Geographic information systems
  • Computational metrology
  • Geometric data structures
  • Implementation issues
  • Robustness
  • Computer vision
  • Robotics
  • Computer-aided design
  • Mesh generation
Following the tradition of the previous MSI and CGC Workshops on Computational Geometry, the format of the workshop was informal, extending over 2 days, with several breaks for discussions.

A booklet of abstracts was distributed at the workshop and made available electronically on the Web. There were no formal proceedings for this workshop, but selected papers will be invited to a special issue of the International Journal of Computational Geometry and Applications.

Registration was on-site, and included the abstract booklets, lunches, and coffee breaks. There was a nominal registration fee of $25.
