                CGAL Prospective Workshop
        on Geometric Computing in Periodic Spaces

                October 20, 2008
                INRIA Sophia Antipolis - Méditerranée

Traditionally, the scope of computational geometry research has been
limited to manipulation of geometric elements in the Euclidean space
Rd.
This one day event will bring together researchers from various
application areas working on simulations, having in common that the
domains of their simulation are often periodic spaces. The periodicity
avoids special treatment at the domain boundaries.

Additionally, we will present the most recent advances in CGAL
concerning 3D Delaunay triangulations and Voronoi diagrams in periodic
spaces. The workshop is a prospective workshop, as the periodic
triangulations are work in progress, and hence not yet integrated in
the CGAL distribution. However, they are already robust and fast
enough to be exposed and tested by potential real world users.

The workshop has two main goals: To share experiences and to identify
common algorithmic needs, as far as the the geometric foundation is
concerned, that is by abstracting from the fact that the domain models
the universe, a composite material in a nuclear reactor, or huge
molecules floating in water.

A preliminary schedule is available on the workshop web page, as well as 
practical information.

The number of participants is limited.
