CCCG 2019
The 31st Canadian Conference in Computational Geometry
University of Alberta
Edmonton, Alberta, Canada
August 8-10, 2019
Statement of Purpose
The Canadian Conference on Computational Geometry (CCCG) is a forum to disseminate and discuss new theoretical and applied results in discrete and computational geometry. CCCG focuses on the design of efficient algorithms, the development of software, and the study of the mathematical foundations of computational problems whose formulations involve geometric constraints.
The field of computational geometry is motivated by problems from a broad range of application areas, as diverse as computer graphics and animation, computer vision, computer-aided design and manufacturing, geographic information systems, pattern recognition, wireless communications, robotics, protein folding, urban planning, graph drawing, or statistical analysis.
Call for Papers
Authors are invited to submit papers describing original research of theoretical or practical significance in computational, combinatorial and discrete geometry, as well as related areas. Submissions will be refereed by the Program Committee. Submissions should not exceed six pages, excluding references and appendices. Documents must be prepared using LaTeX; the appropriate template is available from the link below. Authors who feel that additional details are necessary should include a clearly marked appendix, which will be read at the discretion of the Program Committee.
Only electronic submissions via EasyChair (link below) will be accepted. Simultaneous submission to another conference or journal is not allowed. Accepted papers are expected to be presented at the conference. Failure to do so will result in removal of the paper from the proceedings.
Proceedings will be published online. There will be no paper proceedings. Authors of selected papers will be invited to submit extended versions to a special issue of the journal Computational Geometry: Theory and Applications.
Any submission that is authored only by students is eligible for the best young researcher award (paper & presentation).

Local Information
Conference Venue
The talks at CCCG will take place in the Aurora and Prarie rooms at the Lister Conference Centre located at the University of Alberta.
- Campus Map
- Information for Parking. Nearby lots that are always available are Stadium Carpark or Education Carpark.
- Eduroam is available on campus. A guest network is also available on campus to all visitors, no login required.
Getting to the University from YEG airport
- Taking a Taxi from YEG will cost about $55 before tip.
- Uber frequently has vehicles ready to pick up from the airport, but this is not a guarantee.
- Edmonton Transit Service (ETS) operates a $5 bus that drives between the airport and our southmost LRT station (Century Park). See here for more information on this route. The LRT can then be taken from Centry Part to either the Health Sciences Station or the University Station for an additional $3.50. See the ETS page for more information on transit in Edmonton.
- For further options including an airport shuttle, visit this page.
Hotel Information
CCCG 2019 and WADS 2019 have an agreement with both a dorm on campus
and a nearby hotel. All rates are in CAD. Note, if you are also staying for CCCG then
both the dorm and the hotel require you to make two separate bookings if you are booking online
or by sending in a form. See wads.org for information on booking
rooms for WADS.
- Campus Towers Hotel
Individual call-in reservations can be made directly through the Hotel, through the toll free reservations telephone line +1-800-709-1824, the hotel direct at +1-780-439-6060. Indicate the group code ACT-GFC3192 or meeting name by quoting “Canadian Conference on Computational Geometry (CCCG)”. Alternatively, you may use the following link http://coa.st/erwg.
All reservations should be made before July 8th, 2019 to ensure availability. Rates start at $159.00 per night for one bedroom suites and two bedroom suites are also available.
- Lister Residence Services
The conference centre itself has single-occupancy dorm rooms and a limited number of private rooms. The building is adjoined to the conference centre.
You can reserve one of these rooms by filling out this form and either emailing it to guest.services@ualberta.ca or faxing it to +1-780-492-5597. Alternatively, you may call the front desk at +1-780-492-6056 and identify the group name of CCCG 2019.
All reservations should be made before July 4th, 2019 to ensure availability. Rates are $75 per night for a single-occupancy dorm and $109 per night for a private room.
