Workshops on Topics in Computational Geometry

0203224 Ileana StreinuSmith学院计算几何专题研讨会该提案旨在支持一系列关于计算几何新兴专题的年度问题提出和问题解决研讨会，并应用于图形学、机器人学、CAD、生物计算等。所申请的资金将支持学生、博士后和一些受邀参与者。该研讨会旨在促进学科（数学，计算机科学，工程）之间的合作，确定新的方向和问题，并使代表性不足的群体的代表参与合作研究机会（我们预计约一半的参与者是女性研究人员或学生）。 主办单位每年都会选出一个新的主题。将为每个讲习班制作一个网页，其中将包括与讲习班出版物的链接。 将不会有注册费。选择的地点（西印度群岛巴巴多斯的麦吉尔大学Bellairs研究所）在我们的社区已经有了悠久的传统（麦吉尔大学的研究人员已经非常成功地组织了超过15年的各种主题的研讨会，该研究所的设施已被美国和加拿大的其他学术机构使用）。它允许进行非正式且非常富有成效的互动，住宿价格低廉，并且可以通过美国主要航空公司以合理的机票价格到达。

0203224Ileana StreinuSmith CollegeWorkshops on Topics in Computational GeometryThis proposal is to support a series of annual problem-posing and problem-solvingworkshops on emerging new topics in Computational Geometry, with applications in Graphics, Robotics, CAD, BioComputing, etc. The requested funds will support students, post-docs and some invited participants. The workshop is aiming at fostering collaborations between disciplines (mathematics, computer science, engineering), identifying new directions and problems to work on, and engaging representatives from under-represented groups in collaborative research opportunities (we anticipate about half of the participants to be female researchers or students). A new topic will be chosen each year by the organizer. A web page will be prepared for each workshop, which will include links to resulting publications. There will be no registration fee. The chosen location (Bellairs Research Institute of McGill University in Barbados, West Indies) already has a long tradition within our community (McGill researchers have very successfully organized such workshops on various topics for over 15 years, and the institute's facilities have been used by other academic institutions in the US and Canada). It allows for informal and very productive interaction, it has inexpensive lodging and is accessible via major US carriers atreasonably priced airfare.
