VIDEO/MULTIMEDIA SUBMISSION DEADLINE HAS EXPIRED.

Video and multimedia presentations are sought for the 19th Annual Video and Multimedia Review of Computational Geometry. This review showcases the use of visualization in computational geometry for exposition and education, for the visual exploration of geometry in research, and as an interface and a debugging tool in software development. Algorithm animations, visual explanations of structural theorems, descriptions of applications of computational geometry, and demonstrations of software systems are all appropriate.

Three to five minutes is ideal for most animations and presentations of applications; eight minutes is the upper limit. Submissions of movie clips in QuickTime or MPEG-4 compressed formats (e.g., XviD or DivX version 6) are encouraged.  For ease of sharing and viewing, we encourage (but it is not required) that each submission be uploaded to YouTube, and that the corresponding url be supplied along with the submission.  Consider adding a subtitle track to movie clips. We also encourage submissions of Macromedia Flash, Java applets, and limited forms of other multimedia or software. These formats must come with a script that will allow them to be distributed in both interactive and canned QT or MPEG movie formats. In case of doubt, please email the Video and Multimedia Program chair. Some suggestions on making movie clips can be found at Video Suggestions.

Accepted video and multimedia presentations will have an abstract in the published conference proceedings; video/multimedia authors will have an opportunity to present their work at the conference during a dedicated video session. Accepted presentations will be available online in various formats in a web proceedings. See The 2009 video proceedings.

Video/Multimedia Submission

Video/multimedia submissions should be sent by e-mail to the Video/Multimedia committee chair, This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it , to arrive by 23:59, New York time, Friday, February 19, 2010.

The author(s) should submit a one or two-page description of the material shown in the presentation, and where applicable, the techniques used in the implementation. An email address of the corresponding author and a URL or ftp address where the supporting materials can be retrieved must be included. The final two-page descriptions must be formatted according to the guidelines for ACM proceedings; LaTeX style files will be provided to authors of accepted presentations.

We explicitly encourage video/multimedia submissions that support papers submitted to the symposium. Submitted papers and associated video/multimedia submissions will be treated entirely separately by the respective committees: acceptance or rejection of one will not influence acceptance or rejection of the other.

Authors will be notified of acceptance or rejection, and given reviewers' comments by March 1, 2010. For each accepted submission, the final version of the 2-page textual description will be due by March 15, 2010 (electronically) for inclusion in the proceedings. Final versions of accepted video/multimedia presentations will be due April 20, 2010 in the best format available.
