We apologize for multiple postings.

FIRST ANNOUNCEMENT AND CALL FOR PAPERS

=======================================

The Organizers of the 15th EGC Meeting have a great pleasure of inviting

you to take part in this Conference to be held in Sevilla, June 26-28, 2013.

We are convinced that the ECG2013 will be an excellent

opportunity for the Combinatorial & Computational Geometry community to get together again in a pleasant

atmosphere, and, thus, we are looking forward to seeing you in Sevilla, the capital of Andalucía, in 2013!

Please, visit the website (http://congreso.us.es/ecgeometry/) for more

information.

PLENARY SPEAKERS

=================

- Jorge Urrutia, UNAM, Mexico.

- Rolf Klein, University of Bonn, Germany.

- Pedro A. Ramos, University of Alcalá de Henares, Spain.

CALL FOR PAPERS:

=============================

The XV ECG (Encuentros de Geometría Computacional, in Spanish) will be held on June 26-28, 2013, at the School of Engineering of the University of Seville, Spain. The focus of the conference is on current topics in discrete and computational geometry, including both theoretical and applied results. EGC has been held since 1990 (bi-annually since 1995) and combines a strong scientific tradition with a friendly and informal atmosphere. The conference will feature presentations of accepted submissions as well as invited talks.

As in the previous EGC, the meeting will have an international character, and we would be pleased to welcome all CG-community members interested in joining us in this event. Authors are invited to submit articles describing original research in computational & combinatorial geometry.

Notice that EGC'2013 will not have formal proceedings. A booklet of abstracts, without ISBN number, will be distributed among attendees. In order to guarantee that submissions are in scope and not below basic standards, there will be a limited reviewing process. Contributions presented at ECG are expected to appear in other conferences with formal proceedings and/or in journals.

A special issue with selected papers is planned to be published in a CG journal.

Please see the call for papers and the submission instructions for details.

We invite all researchers, academicians, practitioners, as well as students

interested in any branch of combinatorial & computational geometry

to participate at the Meeting and to present their papers.

Topics include, but are not limited to:

· discrete and combinatorial geometry;

· linear programming applied to geometric problems;

· geometric algorithms and data structures;

· theoretical foundations of computational geometry;

· questions of interest in the implementation of geometric algorithms;

· applications of computational geometry (computer graphics, virtual reality, robotics, simulation and visualization, solid modelling, CAD, pattern recognition, graph drawing, circuits layout, image processing, GIS, multimedia and animation, etc.);
