Mini-symposium: CGAL, an Open Gate to Computational Geometry
Part of the CG-Week 2012
June 18th, 2012, Chapel Hill, NC, USA
http://socg2012.web.unc.edu/schedule-preliminary/

This year a series of mini-symposia, gathered under the collective title Computational Geometry: Applications, Practice, and Theory (CG:APT), will be co-located with the 28th Symposium on Computational Geometry (SoCG). These mini-symposia together with SOCG will constitute the "CG-Week 2012".

The Mini-symposium: "CGAL, an Open Gate to Computational Geometry" is scheduled for the afternoon of June 18th.

The aim of the mini-symposium is to provide a sample of  academic projects that are based on CGAL but are not part of CGAL. The focus will be on excellent academic projects that, in total, will reflect the use of computational geometry outside of our community. We believe that such a mini-symposium will be of great interest to our community as it will stimulate further cooperation with other research areas. 

The symposium will consist of four invited talks and a poster session. We believe that the poster session is an excellent opportunity for CGAL users to present and demonstrate their work and to receive invaluable feedback from their peers in an informal setting. The talks will be of introductive nature, each addressing  the specific problem and the respective research field of a project using CGAL. Speakers will also emphasize the links of their research field to computational geometry. Each lecture will be around 40 minutes:

• Ioannis Emiris: Constructing Resultant Polytopes by a Vertex Oracle
• Rien van de Weijgaert: Alphashapes and the Topology of the Megaparsec Universe
• Jeff Martin: Geometric Arrangement Algorithms for Protein Structure Determination
  
• Alexander Kroeller: CGAL meets CPLEX

========================================

This is a call for participation to the poster session.
