This event will be published by Springer-Verlag , Berlin Heidelberg in its series Lecture Notes in Computer Science

In the last few years, Computer Graphics and Geometric Modeling have become some of the most important and challenging areas of Computer Science. This workshop solicits high-quality papers for presentation describing original research results in Computer Graphics and Geometric Modeling (see Topics below).

All accepted papers will be published as full papers in the Springer-Verlag Lecture Notes in Computer Science ( LNCS ) Series and will be available for the delegates in printed form. In addition, all accepted papers will be scheduled for oral presentation. Submission implies the willingness of at least one of the authors to register and present the paper.

The workshop is a part of ICCS'02 , the 2002 International Conference on Computational Science to be held in Amsterdam, The Netherlands, April 21-24, 2002. This conference is the second of a series of annual conferences in Computational Science. The previous edition, ICCS'2001 was in San Francisco (USA) and was also published by Springer-Verlag Lecture Notes in Computer Science, vols. 2073 and 2074 .

The workshop will be held at the Science Park Watergraafsmeer at the Universiteit van Amsterdam, Amsterdam. Here you can find more information about this city .

The conference language will be English.

Paper Submission

The Workshop offers prospective authors to send a full paper by e-mail. The papers should be sent to:

All submissions must be written in English. Send the paper as an attachment provided that the size of the message is reasonable (less than, let's say, 3.5 MB). Otherwise, please contact us before sending the paper.

Acceptable formats are pdf and postscript (use extension .pdf or .ps, respectively).

You can also send your paper by air mail to:

Andrés Iglesias
Dpt. of Applied Mathematics and Computational Sciences
University of Cantabria
E.T.S.I. de Caminos, Canales y Puertos
Avda. de los Castros, s/n
Santander, E-39005, SPAIN

However, we strongly recommend you to use the e-mail for paper submission.

In addition to the paper, you must send a list of three possible referees for your paper, explaining why do you propose them. However, there is not guarantee that your paper will be reviewed for some of the proposed reviewers. This list is intended to assure that the review process is performed at due time. Therefore, the list will be used only if we are unable to find other reviewers for your paper.

After receiving your submission, the paper will be reviewed taking into account:

• relevance
• significance of results,
• originality,
• technical accuracy, and
• readability

and acceptance/rejection will be based on this review. If a paper is rejected you will be contacted and given the referee reports. It may well be that your paper is more suited to be submitted to another workshop or conference.

All accepted papers will be published as full papers by Springer-Verlag, Lecture Notes in Computer Science Series and will be available for the delegates in printed form. In addition, all accepted papers will be scheduled for oral presentation. Submission implies the willingness of at least one of the authors to register and present the paper.

Papers should be 6 to maximum 10 pages A4, formatted using the LNCS guidelines. The style files for the LNCS can be found at the following URL:

            http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html

The initial submission of the paper for peer review must be a full paper (6 to 10 pages), not an extended abstract. Your paper must ( MUST!) be formatted according to the rules of the LNCS, in order to be accepted and published. This point will be checked very carefully.

Reviewer Board

Each paper submitted to the workshop was reviewed by, at least, two referees (three in most cases). Although they had a very short time (and a very busy schedule) for reviewing the papers, they certainly did a very good job. Many thanks are given to the members of the Reviewer Board for their careful reading of the initial version of the manuscripts and their helpful suggestions which led to a substantial improvement of the draft papers.
