New Era Discrete Computational Geometry

项目摘要

Computational Geometry is a branch of the theory of computer science that studies algorithms for problems best stated in geometric form. The problems arise from applications in Geographic Information Systems, robotics, computer-aided design & manufacturing, computer graphics, data analytics and visualization, molecular modeling, engineering simulation, etc. Computational Geometry was a young field in 1986 when Goodmann and Pollack (NYU) launched what would become the flagship journal, "Discrete & Computational Geometry," with a scientific conference in Santa Cruz. It, and follow-up conferences at Mt. Holyoke (1996), Monte Verita (1999), and Snowbird (2006), had a huge impact in defining and directing the field. This project supports US participants, mainly young researchers, in a scientific conference, "A New Era of Discrete and Computational Geometry," at the ETH Zurich seminar center Monte Verita, in Ascona, Switzerland. It is fitting to revisit Monte Verita in 2016 to review this field's history and look to its future; junior researchers especially will benefit -- learning context from the review, and becoming equipped to create the future. Joint support from NSF's office of International Science and Engineering and from Computer and Information Science and Engineering broadens the opportunity for US-based participants.

计算几何是计算机科学理论的一个分支，研究用几何形式表示的问题的算法。这些问题出现在地理信息系统，机器人技术，计算机辅助设计制造，计算机图形学，数据分析和可视化，分子建模，工程模拟等计算几何是一个年轻的领域在1986年时，古德曼和波拉克（纽约大学）推出什么将成为旗舰期刊，“离散计算几何”，与科学会议在圣克鲁斯。它和后续会议在山。霍利奥克（1996）、蒙特·维里塔（1999）和雪鸟（2006）在定义和指导该领域方面产生了巨大的影响。该项目支持美国参与者，主要是年轻的研究人员，在一个科学会议，“离散和计算几何的新时代”，在ETH苏黎世研讨会中心蒙特维里塔，在阿斯科纳，瑞士。在2016年重新审视Monte Verita，回顾这一领域的历史并展望其未来是合适的;初级研究人员尤其将从中受益-从审查中学习背景，并为创造未来做好准备。来自NSF国际科学与工程办公室和计算机与信息科学与工程的联合支持为美国参与者提供了更多的机会。
