Eighth International Symposium on Voronoi Diagrams in Science and Engineering

Call For Paper

Aims and Scope

The 8th ISVD International Symposium on Voronoi Diagrams in Science and Engineering is devoted to the research on Voronoi diagrams and their applications to all fields. The conference provides a forum for scientists and practitioners working on Voronoi Diagrams and on their applications in science and engineering including, geo-spatial information sciences (GIS), visualization, urban planning, computer science, geology, robotics, bioinformatics, high-performance computing, bioinformatics, physics, chemistry and other applications.

We solicit original research contributions and industrial papers. The conference proceedings with ISBN will be published by Conference Publishing Services (CPS) and selected papers will be published in the Springer LNCS Transactions on Computational Science and Mathematics Journal of Chinese Universities (SCI). All submitted papers will be reviewed by the Program Committee, and acceptance decisions will be based on their quality, originality and relevance.
