Scope

The Canadian Conference on Computational Geometry (CCCG) focuses on the design of efficient algorithms, the development of software, and the study of the mathematical foundations of computational problems whose formulations involve geometric constraints. The field of computational geometry is motivated by problems from a broad range of application areas, as diverse as computer graphics and animation, computer vision, computer-aided design and manufacturing, geographic information systems, pattern recognition, wireless communications, robotics, protein folding, urban planning, graph drawing, or statistical analysis, to name just a few. Authors are invited to submit papers describing original research of theoretical or practical significance in computational, combinatorial and discrete geometry, as well as related areas.

Audience

CCCG is an international forum, accessible to a broad community of researchers, to disseminate and discuss new theoretical and applied results in discrete and computational geometry. The intended audience for this conference includes graduate and undergraduate students, researchers in the area, and members of industry whose work involves geometric computation.

Proceedings

Proceedings will be published online. There will be no paper proceedings. A special issue of papers selected from CCCG 2017 is planned for the journal Computational Geometry: Theory and Applications.

The Canadian Conference on Computational Geometry (CCCG) focuses on the mathematics of discrete geometry from a computational point of view. Abstracting and studying the geometric problems that underlie important applications of computing (such as geographic information systems, computer-aided design, simulation, robotics, solid modelling, big data, and computer graphics) leads not only to new mathematical results, but also to improvements in these application areas. Despite its international following, CCCG maintains the informality of a smaller workshop and attracts a large number of students.
