Topics to be covered</div><div>include computational geometry and related topics, e.g.,</div><div><br></div><div> * Algorithmic methods in geometry and topology</div><div> * Sensor networks and network technologies</div><div> * I/O-scalable geometric algorithms</div><div> * Animation of geometric algorithms</div><div> * Computer graphics</div><div> * Solid modeling</div><div> * Geographic information systems</div><div> * Graph drawing</div><div> * Experimental studies</div><div> * Folding and unfolding</div><div> * Geometric data structures</div><div> * Implementation issues</div><div> * Robustness in geometric computations</div><div> * Geometric algorithms for machine learning</div><div> * Computer vision</div><div> * Robotics</div><div> * Computer-aided design</div><div> * Mesh generation</div><div> * Manufacturing applications of geometry</div><div> * Computational biology and geometric computations</div><div> * Practical Applications of Geometry</div></div><div style="font-size:13px"><br></div><div style="font-size:13px">Following the tradition of the previous Fall Workshops on Computational Geometry, the format of the workshop will be informal, extending over 2 days, with several breaks scheduled for discussions. To promote a free exchange of questions and research challenges, there will be an Open Problem Session to present and discuss open problems. The workshop will include 3-4 invited speakers, eminent leaders in their respective fields who have witnessed first-hand the need for geometric computing and its applications. We hope that the interaction with the computationalgeometry community will be stimulating both to computational geometers and to those involved in applying techniques of computational geometry to other disciplines.<br></div><div style="font-size:13px"><br></div><div style="font-size:13px"><div>For more information visit: <span style="font-size:small"><a href="http://www.cse.buffalo.edu/fwcg2015" target="_blank">http://www.cse.buffalo.edu/fwcg2015</a></span></div><div><span style="font-size:small"><br></span></div><div>Registration:</div><div>----------------------------------------------------------------------------</div><div>There are no registration fees, but for logistical reasons, we ask that you register on the workshop website at <span style="font-size:small"><a href="http://www.cse.buffalo.edu/fwcg2015/" target="_blank">http://www.cse.buffalo.edu/fwcg2015/</a></span><span style="font-size:small">registration.html</span></div><div><span style="font-size:small"><br></span></div><div>Invited Speakers</div><div><br></div><div>Piotr Indyk </div><div><p class="MsoNormal"><b> </b><b>Beyond Locality Sensitive Hashing</b></p></div><div>Kenneth L.
