2nd Call for Papers: International Symposium on Voronoi Diagrams in Science
and Engineering 

9th International Symposium on Voronoi Diagrams in Science and Engineering
(ISVD 2012) 
June 27 – 29, 2012 
Rutgers University, New Jersey, USA. 
www.isvd12.rutgers.edu

Organized by Rutgers University, with support from DIMACS and NSF, the
International Symposium on Voronoi Diagrams in Science and Engineering
(ISVD) is the premier conference on Voronoi diagrams and their applications
to real-world problems from scientific and engineering disciplines. 

ISVD 2012 seeks submission of papers on original and unpublished research in
all areas of Voronoi diagrams and their applications to science and
engineering.  Submissions are also invited of Voronoi art posters or videos
exhibiting applications of Voronoi diagrams to be presented as a special
Voronoi art exhibition before the symposium. Authors are invited to submit
papers (up to 10 pages) describing original research on the following
topics:

Theoretical aspects of Voronoi diagrams and Delaunay triangulations 
Generalizations of Voronoi diagrams and Delaunay triangulations 
Algorithmic aspects of Voronoi diagrams 
Mathematical properties of Voronoi diagrams
Computational and implementation aspects of Voronoi diagrams 
Conceptual and logical data models based on Voronoi diagrams
Terrain modeling and meshes using Delaunay triangulation 2D and 3D
Spatial topological data structures based on Voronoi diagram 
Visualization, animation and morphing using Voronoi diagrams 
Pattern analysis and recognition using Voronoi diagrams
Motion analysis and planning using Voronoi diagrams 
Collision detection, navigation and obstacle avoidance using Voronoi
diagrams 
Network analysis and communication using Voronoi diagrams 
Clustering and distributing using Voronoi diagrams
Dynamic data modeling and simulation using Voronoi diagrams 
Spatial and autocorrelation analysis using weighted metrics and Voronoi
diagrams 
Image processing using Voronoi diagrams
Molecular, biological and physical modeling using Voronoi diagram 
Voronoi diagrams in bioinformatics, astronomy, geography, chemistry,
material science, location science, solid modeling and operations research
Voronoi art and other applications.

Authors are also invited to submit papers (up to 10 pages) describing
original research in polynomiography and biometrics related to
Voronoidiagrams, Delaunay graphs or more generally computational geometry
and topology. Authors are also invited to submit Voronoi art posters (up to
A0 format) or videos exhibiting nice applications of Voronoi diagrams to be
presented on June 26th as a special Voronoi art exhibition. All submitted
papers will be referred for quality, originality and relevance by the
International Programme Committee (scientific committee). All submissions
will be done online using the EasyChair conference system. A link will be
available from the symposium web page. 

All accepted papers will be published in the proceedings of the symposium
(with ISBN), to be published by the IEEE Computer Society. They will be
available at a later date than the date of the symposium. Selected papers
will be published in a special issue of the Springer Journal of Transactions
on Computational Science, International Journal of Applied Logistics (IJAL)
IGI and other journals. Abstracts of the accepted and invited contributions
will be available at the Symposium. All papers will be available online.
Selected papers (up to 10) will be published in a special issue of the
Springer journal Transactions on Computational Science and other journals.
ISVD 2012 will take place at the Rutgers University, NJ, and supported by
DIMACS and NSF.
