ISVD 2006
3rd International
Symposium on Voronoi Diagrams in Science and
Engineering
July 2-5, 2006 Banff Center, Banff, Alberta, Canada followed by the
Applied Computational Geometry Forum,
July 6th, 2006
University of Calgary, Calgary, AB, Canada

--------------------------------------------------------------------------- INVITED SPEAKERS: Prof. Binhai Zhu Invited Speech " Voronoi Diagram and
Delaunay Triangulation: Applications and Challenges in
Bioinformatics," Montana State University, USA
Prof. Robert Erdahl, Invited Speech "Voronoi and
Delaunay Tilings for Lattices," Queen's University, Canada
OBJECTIVES:
The 3rd ISVD International Symposium on Voronoi Diagrams in
Science and Engineering is a continuation of the two
previous ones held in Tokyo, Japan (2004) and Seoul, Korea
(2005). It is being sponsored by iCORE Informatics Circle of
Research Excellence, Faculty of Sciences and Department of
Computer Science, University of Calgary, International
Center for Voronoi Diagram Research, Seoul, Korea, Unievrsity
of Tokyo, Japan and supported by PIMS Pacific Institute
for Mathematical Sciences, NSERC and GEOIDE Funding
agencies.
The Symposium will take place on July 2-5, 2006, and in Banff, and will be followed by Scientific Forum devoted to applied computational geometry problems at the University of
Calgary, Canada, on July 6th.
The Symposium was started because of the pressing demand for an international forum devoted exclusively to one of the most versatile and fascinating data structures in
Computational geometry - Voronoi diagram, and due to the renewed
interest to this area from many applied as well as fundamental
sciences. It was intended and it became an
interdisciplinary forum for leading researchers to present the
latest developments and applications of the Voronoi
diagrams, to discuss cutting-edge techniques, to exchange
research ideas and to promote international collaboration in
this field. Key topics for the Symposium are:
1) Theoretical aspects of Voronoi diagrams 2) Computational and implementation aspects of Voronoi
diagrams
3) Generalization of Voronoi diagrams
4) Voronoi Art
5) Applications of the Voronoi/Delaunay methodology to
other areas
TOPICS OF INTEREST:

CONFERENCE FEES and ACCOMODATION: Banff Conference Center, where ISVD 06 will take place and where most of the participants will be staying, is the first of its kind International Research Station in North America.
It is intended specifically as a gathering place for
scientists to conduct their research in a serene Rocky
Mountain settings and having an array of international
scientists visiting the center throughout the year. It is an
Internationally recognized arts, cultural and educational
institution in North America.
Details of the conference fees and accommodation form will be
posted on the website soon.
LOCATION: The ISVD 2006 will take place in one of the most scenic places
on Earth - Banff National Park, at the footsteps of the
magnificent Canadian Rockies. city of Banff provides a
year-around playground for tourists and local visitors alike. In
Winter, it features world-class downhill and cross-country
skiing, hiking, ice climbing, snowmobiling, and snowshoeing
adventures. In summer, world-class golf courses in the
mountain settings, horse riding, river rafting, climbing,
biking, hiking, berry picking and airplane tours await the
visitor.
Hot Springs Mineral Pools, Mountain "Top of the World" Gondola, Bow River Falls, magnificent Banff Springs Hotel, and a world-renown Kirsten Florian Spa facilities complement the
unforgettable experience. First-class dining includes
continental, traditional North American (steak and bison),
Fondue (traditional Swiss cuisine), French, Japanese, Greek,
Chinese, Italian, Coffee Shops and other restaurants for all
tastes.
For those looking for a history tour, live theater performance, museum or an art gallery, there are numerous options available. ISVD'06 Conference location is adjacent to Banff
Performance Center where musical, theatrical and life
performance events take place throughout the year, as well as
in a close proximity to Banff White Museum, History
Museum, Cave and Basic Interpretive Center, and Wild Flower
gardens to name a few important landmarks.
PROGRAM:
Preliminary Symposium program, including Banff Park walking
tour, outdoor BBQ Gala, Banff and Lake Louise Half day
excursion, activities for accompanying family members,
recreational activities and tours is already available on ISVD
web site.
