Call for Abstracts: The programme committee invites submissions of extended abstracts in all areas of computational geometry. Abstracts should use two to four pages in ACM conference format: Double column, US letter paper, in a standard 10pt font. (E.g. http://www.acm.org/sigs/pubs/proceed/template.html) We encouraged the simultaneous submission of the URL (web address) for a full paper, which will be used to provide more detailed feedback to authors. Authors will be notified if their abstacts are accepted by May 31; comments on full papers will be given at the same time (or in the following two weeks if there are more extensive comments.) Authors of all accepted papers are encouraged to contribute a full version for the electronicproceedings by July 7, otherwise the extended abstract will be used. Abstracts, in postscript or PDF, and links to full papers, should be sent by May 14, 1999 to snoeyink@cs.ubc.ca CCCG focuses on the mathematics of discrete geometry from a computational point of view. Abstracting and studying the geometry problems that underly important applications of computing (such as geographic information systems, computer-aided design, simulation, robotics, solid modeling, databases, and graphics) leads not only to new mathematical results, but also to improvements in these applications. Despite its international following, CCCG maintains the informality of a smaller workshop and attracts a large number of students. Invited speakers include Victor Klee (mathematics, Univ of Washington), John Canny (computer science, UC Berkeley) and Susanne Fortier (chemistry, Queens Univ.) CCCG'99 follows WADS'99, the Workshop on Algorithms And Data Structures, which is held in downtown Vancouver. See http://www.scs.carleton.ca/~wads Important dates: Submission of abstract: May 14, 1999. Notification of acceptance: May 31, 1999. Submission of final paper: July 7, 1999.
