SoCG 2012 Program Commitee Report • 28th Annual Symposium • on Computational Geometry TamalDey and Sue Whitesides (Co-chairs)
Program Committee • PankajAgarwal • Dominique Attali • Gill Barequet • Mark de Berg • Danny Chen • TamalDey • Vida Dujmovic • David Eppstein • Leo Guibas • Sylvain Lazard • DineshManocha • Steve Oudot • KonradPoltier • Edgar Ramos • Jian Sun • Takeshi Tokuyama • Yusu Wang • Max Wardetzky • Sue Whitesides
Process • Abstract submission (Nov. 22) : • Good idea for paper bidding • not all papers get submitted (126/156) • Paper submission (Dec. 2) • Paper assignment (Dec. 5, 3/paper and ~20/PC member)
Review • 3 Reviews/paper (Jan. 17) : • External reviews • Scores ([-2,2]), confidence ([0,4]) • Deliberations (Jan 17 – Feb 15) • Electronic through Easychair • Three phases • Final notifications (Feb 16) • 44/124 (2 withdrawn) • With reviews
Simultaneous submission • Issue of simultaneous journal submission: • 1 paper was in journal submission. The PC debated extensively if the paper should be considered for review An extended abstract of a paper that is under journal review, or scheduled for publication in a journal after June 2012, may be submitted, when it is clear that the extended abstract differs substantially from the journal version. In such cases, the authors must include the journal version in an appendix that clearly identifies the status of the journal submission. • Ambiguity in CFP caused PC to split on the issue (decided by voting ultimately) • Strong recommendation: Revisit this issue and make CFP clear
Awards • We instituted three awards • two Best Paper awards • one Best Student Presentation award • Best papers • Four papers were nominated by PC based on the reviews/merits • Awards Committee (PC member volunteers: Mark de Berg, Gill Barequet, TamalDey, Steve Oudot, Edgar Ramos, Takeshi Tokuyama, Sue Whitesides) selected 2 out of these 4. • Best Student presentation • To be decided by audience (bring and turn in your form tomorrow) • Award Sponsor:Mentor Graphics
