DIMACS, the Center for Discrete Mathematics and Theoretical Computer Science, will

run a workshop entitled Computational Geometry and Computer-Aided Design and Manufacturing.

The purpose of this workshop is to promote the interaction between Computational

Geometry and Computer-Aided Design and Manufacturing by bringing together,

in a single forum, researchers from both of these .elds to assess the current state of work

at the interface of the two fields, to identify research needs, and to establish directions for

collaborative future work. Topics to be addressed include geometric aspects (modeling and

representation techniques, data structures, algorithms and analysis, software development,

implementation and testing, etc.) of: manufacturing processes, manufacturing and assembly

planning, rapid prototyping technologies, model acquisition/reconstruction, reverse engineering,

computational metrology and tolerancing, mechanism design, constraint systems,

simulation and visualization in design and manufacturing, solid modeling related to manufacturing,

computer vision and robotics related to manufacturing, and manufacturing in

specific applications (e.g., biomedical, textile, automotive, aerospace engineering etc.).
