Computational Geometry and Graph Drawing
This minisymposium addresses computational geometry and graph drawing. Because of the fundamental spatial properties of the physical world, issues for dealing with geometric data, either as input or output, arise naturally anytime one wishes to model physical objects or to visualize non-physical relationships using an intuitive representation. Talks in this minisymposium will focus on both of these aspects, with the first two discussing geometric planning problems for computing assembly or cutting strategies for a given configuration of geometric objects, and the second two discussing problems dealing with the determination of geometric objects that realize combinatorial relationships represented in graphs.
