Workshop Description --------------------

This year the Workshop on Computational Geometry and Applications and Security, held in conjunction with the International Conference on Computational Science and Applications, will take place in Melbourne, Australia. The workshop is intended as an international forum for researchers in computational geometry and related areas, with the goal of advancing the state of research in computational geometry and related disciplines. We invite submission of papers presenting high-quality original research in one of the three Workshop tracks:

- theoretical computational geometry - applied computational geometry - security and performance issues

Topics of interest include (but are not limited to): -----------------------

- Design and analysis of geometric algorithms - Geometric algorithms in path planning and robotics - Computational geometry in biometrics - Intelligent geometric computing - Geometric algorithms in computer graphics and computer vision - Geometric modeling - Voronoi diagrams and generalizations - Geometric data structures - 3D Geometric modeling - Geometric algorithms in Geographical Information Systems - Algebraic geometry - Discrete and combinatorial geometry - Interpolation and surface reconstruction - Implementation issues and numerical precision in geometric algorithms - Applications in computational biology, physics, chemistry, geography, medicine, education, networks. - Visualization of geometric algorithms - Security applications - Geometry in biometrics - Big Data Analytics and Security - Machine Learning and Security

Submissions in other related areas will also be considered.

Proceedings -------------

Proceedings of the Workshop will be published by Springer/IEEE CS.

Proceedings of the previous Workshops on Computational Geometry and Applications appeared in LNCS Springer and IEEE_CS. Papers from the previous CGA Workshops have appeared in the special issues of International Journal of Computational Geometry and Applications, Journal of CAD/CAM, Journal of Computational Methods in Sciences and Engineering (JCMSE), the Journal of Supercomputing and Transactions on Computational Science, Springer.
