Geometric Constraints and Reasoning is at the heart of many
theoretical studies and engineering applications. For instance, many
problems from geometric modeling, computer graphics, computer vision,
computer aided design, robotics, and molecular design can be reduced
to problems based on geometric constraint solving and computer-aided
deduction and reasoning in geometry. Conversely, a great variety of
methods following approaches borrowed from very different fields have
been applied in geometric constraint solving and in geometric theorems
proving.

The number of papers on geometric constraint solving and automated
reasoning in geometry in today's journals and conferences is steadily
growing. Therefore, our aim is to provide a place where researchers
from different communities which share the subject can present their
different perspectives on open problems and propose solutions for them
and offer improved solutions to problems so far deficiently solved.

This special issue will also build on the fourth edition of the
technical track Geometric Constraints and Reasoning in the 24th Annual
ACM Symposium on Applied Computing, held in March 8-12, 2009,
Honolulu, Hawaii, USA, which dealt with the same topics.  The response
was over 20 paper submissions.

We welcome submissions of papers in all aspects of Geometric
Constraints and Reasoning. Topics include but are not limited to:

- Mathematical background: combinatorial rigidity, graph theory,
   matroid theory, computer algebra.

- Geometric constraint solving: methods and techniques.

- Geometric theorem proving.

- Constraint-based design of free-form curves, surfaces, and blends.

- Applications: Computer Graphics, CAD-CAM, robotics,
   design of mechanisms, chemistry , photogrammetry, virtual reality,  
etc.

- Constraint-based dynamic geometry.

- Computer-user interfaces for geometric constraints.

- geometric constraints and data exchange.

- reverse engineering and capture of design intent.

- Persistent naming problem and constraint-based geometric modeling.
