FIRST CALL FOR PAPERS - XVI EGC
XVI Spanish Meeting on Computational Geometry
(Encuentros de Geometría Computacional, EGC)
July 1-3, 2015 Barcelona, Spain
http://www-ma2.upc.es/egc15
The XVI Spanish Meeting on Computational Geometry will be held on July
1-3, 2015,
at the Faculty of Mathematics and Statistics, Universitat Politècnica
de Catalunya,
Barcelona, Spain.
The main focus of this international conference is on current topics
in Discrete and
Computational Geometry, including both theoretical and applied results.
EGC started in 1990, making this edition, 25 years later, a special occasion.
The intended audience for this conference includes graduate and
undergraduate students,
researchers in the area or from neighboring disciplines, and members
of industry whose
work involves geometric algorithms.
Topics include, but are not limited to:
* geometric algorithms and data structures;
* discrete and combinatorial geometry;
* theoretical foundations of computational geometry;
* questions of interest in the implementation of geometric algorithms
and geometric
software development;
* applications of computational geometry, and closely related areas,
such as computer
graphics, virtual reality, robotics, computer vision, simulation
and visualization,
solid modelling, computer aided design and manufacturing, pattern
recognition, graph
drawing and circuit layout, image processing, geographic
information systems, multimedia
and animation, wireless communications, computer algebra,
computational topology,
statistical analysis, operations research, computational biology, etc.
The language of the conference is English, yet occasional
submissions/presentations in
Spanish may be exceptionally considered.
IMPORTANT DATES
All deadlines are 23:59 CEST and fixed. There will be no extensions.
Paper submission deadline: April 16, 2015
Notification of paper acceptance: May 14
Grant application deadline: May 21
Final versions due: May 31
Early registration deadline: June 4
Conference: July 1-3, 2015
INVITED SPEAKERS
Jin Akiyama, Tokyo University of Science.
Francisco Santos, Universidad de Cantabria.
Bettina Speckmann, Technische Universiteit Eindhoven.
Jorge Urrutia, Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México.
SUBMISSIONS
We invite authors to submit extended abstracts that should not exceed
4 pages of
original research. In order to guarantee that submissions are in scope
and not below
basic standards, there will be a limited review process. An appendix
can be added
as a help for the reviewers and is required when necessary to verify
omitted proofs
of critical claims. Submission details will be available on the
conference website.
We remark that XVI ECG will have neither formally reviewed proceedings
nor printed
abstracts. The abstracts, without ISBN, will be made available on the
conference
website (appendices excluded), and must be regarded as a collection of
preprints
rather than a formally reviewed selection of papers.
Papers that have just been submitted to journals or to formally
reviewed conferences
are eligible for being presented at XVI ECG, assuming that it is
allowed by those
venues and they have not appeared by the time of the conference.
Authors of accepted papers are expected to present their papers at the
conference.
Failure to do so will result in removal of the contribution everywhere
in the website.

Call for Papers
Special Issue of Socio-Economic Planning Sciences
Location Analysis for Public Sector Decision-Making in Uncertain Times
Guest Editors:Giuseppe Bruno, University of Naples "Federico II",Italy
Andrea Genovese, University of Sheffield, UK
Socio-Economic Planning Sciences will publish a special issue on recent
development in Location Analysis for Public Sector Decision-Making. The goal
is to compile state-of-the art research, spanning modeling, theory,
empirical studies, application and case studies in this research area. We
seek operations research oriented contributions that are rigorously
executed, clearly and succinctly written, and innovative relative to what is
currently known. In light of the scope of SEPS, all papers must clearly
demonstrate the relevance of their contributions with respect to the public
sector.
A facility location problem is aimed at finding the best position for a set
of facilities within a given region in order to optimize a specific
objective function. In the last decades, there have been many applications
concerning the location of public-sector facilities (i.e. schools or post
offices, emergency services, fire stations, hospitals, ambulances). These
models represent a viable decision support tool for institutions that are
planning to expand their capacity in a given region and/or market.
This very well established research strand, however, has to take into
account the changing and uncertain nature of our times. Indeed, in recent
years, due to the global recession and the general interest to reduce costs
and improve efficiency, public sector bodies have been more interested in
the rationalization of the current position of active facilities (either
closing down some of them or re-organizing the overall service supply
system). In this context, decisions may depend on various factors such as
the nature of the service and the characteristics of the demand.
Considering this context, the special issue will be welcoming papers related
to applications and theory of Location Analysis, with a special emphasis on
contributions addressing contemporary challenges.
All manuscripts should be submitted electronically via the Elsevier
Editorial System (EES) <http://ees.elsevier.com/seps>
http://ees.elsevier.com/seps. You must select Location Analysis as the
Article Type to make sure that your paper will be considered for the special
issue. The submission deadline is 30 November 2014. The plan is to publish
the special issue in early 2016. Researchers from all relevant disciplines
are invited to consider this special issue as an outlet to publish their
quality work on this topic of increasing significance. Inquiries on the
special issue can be directed to the guest editors (
