The 18th Fall Workshop in Computational Geometry (FWCG) is a regional workshop, economical for researchers in eight states to attend, including those without travel budgets, such as faculty at teaching colleges, grad students, and members of underrepresented groups.Computational geometry has rapidly emerged as a field of intense research in computer science and many related disciplines. Since many of the computations associated with both real and simulated physical systems are geometric in nature, research in this field has been fueled by applications in computational molecular biology, computer graphics, geometric modeling, sensor networks, engineering design, manufacturing, robotics, machine vision, data mining, and statistics. Therefore advances in computational geometry improve the economic competitiveness of the United States.The workshop is being held at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy NY, Oct 31 - Nov 1, 2008. It will enhance the careers of junior researchers by being large enough for interesting people to be present, but small enough for them to be accessible. Half of the NSF support is for subsidizing grad students and underrepresented groups. An example of computational geometry's importance is the Voronoi diagram, a fundamental data structure. It facilitates predicting protein docking in computational biology, which leads to better drug design.Computational geometry is also of importance to various mission agencies. The National Science Foundation's support has a unique role, enabling the more fundamental and basic research that their applied research and advanced development relies on.

第18秋季计算几何学研讨会（FWCG）是一个区域研讨会，是八个州的研究人员的经济性，包括没有旅行预算的研究人员，例如教学学院的教职员工，研究生，以及代表性不足的小组的成员。计算性的几何学在计算机科学和许多相关学科中都迅速出现。由于与真实物理系统和模拟物理系统相关的许多计算本质上都是几何的，因此在计算分子生物学，计算机图形，几何建模，传感器网络，工程设计，制造，机器人技术，机器人技术，机器视觉，数据挖掘和统计数据中，该领域的研究已经为该领域的研究所增强。 因此，计算几何形状的进步提高了美国的经济竞争力。该研讨会将于2008年10月31日至11月1日在纽约州特洛伊市的伦斯勒理工学院举行。它将通过足够大的人来提高初级研究人员的职业，以使有趣的人出现，但足够小，足以访问他们。 NSF的一半支持用于补贴研究生和代表性不足的群体。 计算几何学重要性的一个示例是Voronoi图，这是一种基本数据结构。 它有助于预测计算生物学中的蛋白质对接，从而可以提高药物设计。 国家科学基金会的支持具有独特的作用，使他们的应用研究和高级发展所依赖的更基本和基础研究。
