CALL FOR VIDEOS
9th Annual Video Review of Computational Geometry
June 12-14, 2000
Hong Kong University of Science and Technology
Videos are sought for a video review of computational geometry.
Background
This video review showcases the use of visualization in
computational geometry for exposition and education, as an interface
and a debugging tool in software development, and for the visual
exploration of geometry in research. Algorithm animations, visual
explanations of structural theorems, descriptions of applications of
computational geometry, and demonstrations of software systems are all
appropriate. Videos that accompany papers or communications submitted
to the technical program committee are encouraged.
Submissions
Authors should send one preview copy of a videotape to the
address below by February 13, 2000. The videotape should be at most eight
minutes long (three to five minutes, preferred), and be in VHS NTSC
or VHS PAL format.
Each video tape must be accompanied by
a one- or two-page description of the material
shown in the video, and where applicable, the techniques used
in the implementation.
Please format
descriptions following the guidelines for ACM proceedings.
Additional material describing the contents of the videos, such as the full
text of accompanying papers, may also be included.
Textual material may be submitted electronically by e-mailing either
the URL of a PostScript file (preferred) or the PostScript file
itself to rudolf@mpi-sb.mpg.de.
If electronic submission is impossible, authors should include
five hardcopies of the accompanying text with their video.
Videotapes and accompanying text should be sent to

Notification
Authors will be notified of acceptance or rejection, and
given reviewers' comments by March 1, 2000. For each accepted
video, the final version of the textual description will be due by
March 15, 2000 for inclusion in the proceedings. Final versions of
accepted videos will be due April 10, 2000 in the best format
available. The accepted videos will be edited onto one tape, which
will be shown at the conference and will be distributed to
the participants.
