项目摘要

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 届秋季计算几何研讨会 (FWCG) 是一个区域性研讨会，对于八个州的研究人员来说参加很经济，其中包括那些没有旅行预算的人，例如师范学院的教师、研究生和代表性不足的群体的成员。计算几何迅速发展成为计算机科学和许多相关学科的一个密集研究领域。由于与真实和模拟物理系统相关的许多计算本质上都是几何的，因此计算分子生物学、计算机图形学、几何建模、传感器网络、工程设计、制造、机器人技术、机器视觉等领域的应用推动了该领域的研究、数据挖掘和统计。因此，计算几何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 日在纽约州特洛伊伦斯勒理工学院举行。它将通过足够大的规模容纳有趣的人来增强初级研究人员的职业生涯存在，但足够小以便可以访问。美国国家科学基金会一半的支持用于补贴研究生和代表性不足的群体。计算几何重要性的一个例子是 Voronoi 图，一种基本的数据结构。它有助于预测计算生物学中的蛋白质对接，从而实现更好的药物设计。计算几何对于各种任务机构也很重要。美国国家科学基金会的支持具有独特的作用，使其应用研究和先进开发所依赖的更基础和基础的研究得以实现。
