2009 Fall Workshop on Computational GeometryComputational geometry has rapidly emerged as a field of intenseresearch in computer science and many related disciplines. Since manyof the computations associated with both real and simulated physicalsystems are geometric in nature, research in computational geometryhas been fueled by applications in numerous fields, such as computergraphics, geometric modeling, molecular biology, sensor networks,engineering design, robotics, machine vision, data mining, andstatistics, to mention just a few. All of these areas are on theforefront of current research activity in computational geometry.The Fall Workshop in Computational Geometry will be organized at theDepartment of Computer Science of Tufts University, Medford, MA,November 13-14, 2009. The aim of the workshop is to bring together researchers from academiaand industry, to stimulate collaboration on problems of commoninterest arising in all areas of geometric computing. The proximityto many universities in the Northeast will facilitate studentinvolvement; requested funding is targeted particularly at making theworkshop accessible to students, both graduate and undergraduate.Following the tradition of the previous workshops on ComputationalGeometry, the format of the workshop will be informal, extending overtwo days, with several breaks scheduled for discussions. There willbe a few (three to four) invited speakers, selected to speak on topicsof mutual interest in computational geometry, computer graphics, androbotics. A key focus of the workshop will be an Open Problem Forum inorder to promote a free exchange of questions and research challenges.The workshop will have broader impact in its education and involvementof students and young researchers, who will be exposed to the latestdevelopments in the field and will be given opportunities to presenttalks and posters on their own work. The workshop is designed topromote collaborations between computational geometry specialists andother experts in mathematical sciences and related scientific andengineering disciplines, in hopes of forming new alliances between thefield of geometric algorithms and the many application domains inwhich geometric problems and issues arise.Further information, announcements, and the workshop program will beavailable on the workshop website:http://www.cs.tufts.edu/research/geometry/FWCG09/

2009 年秋季计算几何研讨会计算几何已迅速成为计算机科学和许多相关学科的一个深入研究领域。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，因此计算几何的研究受到许多领域的应用的推动，例如计算机图形学、几何建模、分子生物学、传感器网络、工程设计、机器人、机器视觉、数据采矿和统计等等。 所有这些领域都处于当前计算几何研究活动的前沿。计算几何秋季研讨会将于 2009 年 11 月 13 日至 14 日在马萨诸塞州梅德福塔夫茨大学计算机科学系举办。研讨会的目的是将学术界和工业界的研究人员聚集在一起，促进就几何计算所有领域中出现的共同感兴趣的问题进行合作。 靠近东北地区的许多大学将有利于学生的参与；所申请的资金主要是为了让研究生和本科生都能参加该研讨会。按照之前计算几何研讨会的传统，研讨会的形式将是非正式的，持续两天以上，并安排几次休息时间进行讨论。 将有几位（三到四位）受邀演讲者，被选中就计算几何、计算机图形学和机器人学等共同感兴趣的主题发表演讲。研讨会的一个重点是开放问题论坛，以促进问题和研究挑战的自由交流。研讨会将在学生和年轻研究人员的教育和参与方面产生更广泛的影响，他们将接触到该领域的最新发展并将有机会展示自己作品的演讲和海报。 该研讨会旨在促进计算几何专家与数学科学及相关科学和工程学科的其他专家之间的合作，希望在几何算法领域与出现几何问题和问题的许多应用领域之间形成新的联盟。更多信息、公告和研讨会计划将在研讨会网站上提供：http://www.cs.tufts.edu/research/geometry/FWCG09/
