What is the Computational Geometry (CG) Community?
The CG community is loosely defined to comprise researchers and practitioners interested in geometric computation. The primary conferences of this community are the ACM Symposium on Computational Geometry (SCG), the Canadian Conference on Computational Geometry (CCCG) and the European Workshop on Computational Geometry, including several other theory and algorithm conferences not exclusively devoted to CG. CG has evolved from a subdiscipline of theoretical computer science (such as represented by the FOCS/STOC community). But the field has since developed in several directions and forged links with other areas with interest in geometric computing: computer graphics, visualization, geographical information systems (GIS), geometric modeling (CAD/CAM), manufacturing, robotics, synthetic reality, etc.
