The aim of this workshop is to bring together students and researchers from academia and industry, to stimulate collaboration on problems of common interest arising in geometric computations. Topics to be covered include, but are not limited to:
Following the tradition of the previous Fall Workshops on Computational Geometry, the format of the workshop will be informal, extending over two days (Friday-Saturday), with several breaks scheduled for discussions.
As invited speakers, we will have four eminent leaders in their respective fields who have witnessed first-hand the need for geometric computing and its applications. We hope that the interaction with the computational geometry community will be stimulating both to computational geometers and to those involved in applying techniques of computational geometry to other disciplines.
Authors are invited to submit abstracts for talks to be given at the workshop. Please send an abstract (up to 2 pages) and, if available, a draft of a paper. Because there are no formal proceedings for the workshop, submission of material submitted to a refereed conference (e.g., SODA '06) is allowed and encouraged.
Send your abstract as a PDF file to Suresh Venkatasubramanian (suresh@research.att.com). The subject line should say Submission for FWCG 2005. All authors should get an email confirmation after submission. If an email confirmation is not received by the author, please send an email to Suresh Venkatasubramanian (sureshv@gmail.com).
Submissions should arrive no later than October 19, 2005. Authors will be notified of acceptance by October 26, 2005. Final versions of the abstract are due November 2, 2005.

This series of Fall Workshops on Computational Geometry was originally founded under the sponsorship of the Mathematical Sciences Institute (MSI) at Stony Brook (with funding from the U. S. Army Research Office) and held there from 1991 through 1995. It continued during 1996, 1997, 1998, and 1999 under the sponsorship of the Center for Geometric Computing, a collaborative center of Brown, Duke, and Johns Hopkins Universities, also funded by the U.S. Army Research Office. The workshop returned to Stony Brook for its tenth year, and then moved to Polytechnic University, Brooklyn, NY for its eleventh. The twelfth workshop (2002) was part of the Special Focus on Computational Geometry and Applications at DIMACS, while the thirteenth (2003) was part of the Special Semester on Computational Geometry at the Mathematical Sciences Research Institute, Berkeley. The Fourteenth workshop in 2004 was held at MIT with a return to the workshop's original format. In 2005, we are proud to host the Fall Workshop on Computational Geometry at UPenn.
