<br>
The XVIII Spanish Meeting on Computational Geometry (EGC) will be
held on July 1-3, 2019, at the auditorium of the Escola
Politècnica Superior of the University of Girona, Girona, Spain.
The main focus of this international conference is on current
topics in Discrete and Computational Geometry, including both
theoretical and applied results. This series of meetings started
in 1990. The intended audience for this conference includes
graduate and undergraduate students, researchers in the area or
from neighboring disciplines, and members of industry whose work
involves geometric algorithms. Topics include, but are not limited
to:<br>
<br>
- geometric algorithms and data structures;<br>
- discrete and combinatorial geometry and topology;<br>
- theoretical foundations of computational geometry;<br>
- questions of interest in the implementation of geometric
algorithms and geometric software development;<br>
- applications of computational geometry, and closely related
areas, such as computer graphics, virtual reality, robotics,
computer vision, simulation and visualization, solid modelling,
computer aided design and manufacturing, pattern recognition,
graph drawing and circuit layout, image processing, geographic
information science, multimedia and animation, wireless
communications, computer algebra, computational topology,
statistical analysis, operations research, computational biology,
etc.<br>
<br>
The language of the conference is English, hence all international
colleagues are welcome to join.<br>

Submissions<br>
<br>
New in this edition, we will accept two types of submissions:<br>
<br>
1) Paper submissions<br>
<br>
Each paper submission should consist of an extended abstract of up
to 4 pages of original research. Authors are encouraged to add an
appendix with additional details, or even a full version of the
paper, which will be reviewed by the program committee at their
discretion to verify claims whose proofs do not fit in the 4-page
abstract.<br>
<br>
Papers that have recently been submitted to journals or other
conferences are eligible for submission to EGC, assuming that it
is allowed by those venues and they have not been published by the
time of the conference.<br>
<br>
2) Talk submissions (new!)<br>
<br>
Each talk submission should consist of an abstract of 1 page
describing original research presented in the proposed talk. This
may involve ongoing research or a result published recently (with
the first publication dated in 2018 or later). If the work has
appeared previously, please provide a reference to the
publication.<br>
<br>
Abstracts of accepted papers and talks will be collected in a
booklet that will be accessible from the conference website. No
printed version will be available. Presentations of accepted
papers and talks will be allocated the same amount of time in the
program (approximately 15-25 minutes).<br>
<br>
All submissions (of both papers and talks) will be reviewed by the
program committee in order to guarantee that they are in scope and
meet quality standards.<br>
<br>
Submission instructions will be available at the paper submission
section on the conference website.<br>
<br>
Authors of accepted submissions are expected to present their work
at the conference. Failure to do so will result in removal of the
contribution from the abstract booklet and conference website.<br>
