CALL FOR PAPERS.  
16th Annual Fall Workshop on Computational Geometry 
Nov 10-11, 2006 Smith College  
URL: http://cs.smith.edu/~streinu/FwCG/  

The aim of this workshop is to bring together students and researchers from academia and industry, 
to stimulate collaboration on problems of common interest arising in geometric computations. 
Topics to be covered include, but are not limited to: 

	Algorithmic methods in geometry 
	Animation of geometric algorithms 
	Bio-geometry 
	Combinatorial geometry 
	Computer-aided design 
	Computer graphics 
	Computational topology 
	Experimental studies of geometric algorithms 
	Graph drawing 
	Implementation issues for geometric algorithms 
	Motion generation, folding and unfolding 
	and more ... (see the web site)

Following the tradition of the previous Fall Workshops on Computational Geometry, the format 
of the workshop will be informal, extending over two days (Friday-Saturday), with several breaks 
scheduled for discussions. This year we also plan to include a Poster session. In addition, there will be a 
special event, a 3D Printer Demo run by Joe O'Rourke, an open problems session and several invited talks. 
We are also experimenting with offering an optional, additional event on the third day (Sunday 12 November), 
by hosting a special Rigidity Theory Day.

Submission:

Authors are invited to submit abstracts for talks to be given at the workshop. Please send an 
abstract (up to 2 pages) and, if available, a draft of a paper. Because there are no formal 
proceedings for the workshop, submission of material submitted to a refereed conference is allowed 
and encouraged. 

The 2-page abstract, describing the technical contributions of the paper, should be submitted
by the deadline following the instructions posted on the Workshop's web site. In addition,
and fully optional,  the authors may submit a full paper, but not as a replacement for
the 2-page abstract.


Important dates:

Submission Deadline:                    September 22 
Announcement of accepted abstracts:     October 6 
Final Abstracts and pre-registration:   October 27
