Geometric Modeling and Algebraic Geometry
The two ?elds of Geometric Modeling and Algebraic Geometry, though closely - lated, are traditionally represented by two almost disjoint scienti?c communities. Both ?elds deal with objects de?ned by algebraic equations, but the objects are studied in different ways. While algebraic geometry has developed impressive - sults for understanding the theoretical nature of these objects, geometric modeling focuses on practical applications of virtual shapes de?ned by algebraic equations. Recently, however, interaction between the two ?elds has stimulated new research. For instance, algorithms for solving intersection problems have bene?ted from c- tributions from the algebraic side.

Effective Computational Geometry for Curves and Surfaces
Computational geometry emerged as a discipline in the seventies and has had considerable success in improving the asymptotic complexity of the solutions to basic geometric problems including constructions of data structures,convex hulls, triangulations, Voronoi diagrams and geometric arrangements as well as geometric optimisation. The goal of this book is to take into consideration the multidisciplinary nature of the problem and to provide solid mathematical and algorithmic foundations for effiective computational geometry fo rcurves and surfaces. This book covers two main approaches. In a first part, we discuss exact geometric algorithms for curves and s- faces. We revisit two prominent data structures of computational geometry, namely arrangements (Chap. 1) and Voronoi diagrams (Chap. 2) in order to understand how these structures, which are well-known for linear objects, behave when de?ned on curved objects.
Discrete and computational geometry; Japanese Conference, JCDCG 2004, Tokyo, Japan, October 8-11, 2004
This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-proceedings of the Japanese Conference on Discrete Computational Geometry, JCDCG 2004, held in Tokyo, Japan in October 2004, to honor Janos Pach on his fiftieth year. The 20 revised full papers presented were carefully selected during two rounds of reviewing and improvement from over 60 talks at the conference. All current issues in discrete algorithmic geometry are addressed.

This volume presents the proceedings of the 10th International Workshop on Combinatorial Image Analysis,held 2004, in Auckland, New Zealand. For this workshop we received 86 submitted papers from 23 countries. We selected 55 papers for the conference. completed the program. Conference papers are presented in this volume under the following topical part titles: discrete tomography (3 papers), combinatorics and computational models (6), combinatorial algorithms (6), combinatorial mathematics (4), d- ital topology (7), digital geometry (7), approximation of digital sets by curves and surfaces (5), algebraic approaches (5), fuzzy image analysis (2), image s- mentation (6), and matching and recognition (7). These subjects are dealt with in the context of digital image analysis or computer vision.
Approximation and Online Algorithms ; Vol.3879 : 3rd International Workshop, WAOA 2005, Palma de Mallorca, Spain, October 6-7, 2005, Revised Selected Papers
The third Workshop on Approximation and Online Algorithms (WAOA 2005) focused on the design and analysis of algorithms for online and computationally hard problems. Both kinds of problems have a large number of applications from a variety of ?elds. WAOA 2005 took place in Palma de Mallorca, Spain, on 6–7 October 2005. The workshop was part of the ALGO 2005 event that also hosted ESA, WABI, and ATMOS. The two previous WAOA workshops were held in Budapest (2003) and Rome (2004).
Approximation and online algorithms ; Vol.3351 ; 2nd international workshop, WAOA 2004, Bergen, Norway, September 14-16, 2004, Revised Selected Papers
The 2nd Workshop on Approximation and Online Algorithms (WAOA 2004) focused on the design and analysis of algorithms for online and computationally hard problems. Both kinds of problems have a large number of applications arising from a variety of fields. The workshop was part of the ALGO 2004 event which also hosted ESA, WABI, IWPEC, and ATMOS. Topics of interests for WAOA2004 were : applications to game theory, appr- imation classes, coloring and partitioning, competitive analysis, computational finance, cuts and connectivity, geometric problems, in approximability results, mechanism design, network design, routing, packing and covering, paradigms, randomization techniques, and scheduling problems. on the reviews, This volume contains the 21 selected papers
