The Twentieth Annual Symposium on Computational Geometry, featuring both theoretical and applied research, and a video/multimedia review, will be held at the Polytechnic University, Brooklyn, NY. We invite high-quality submissions based on research into geometric algorithms and data structures, into their implementation, into the supporting mathematics, and into application in computer graphics, computer-aided design and manufacturing, computational biology, geographic information systems, medicine, robotics, mathematics, databases, and other areas.
The Program Co-Chairs have assembled a committee spanning both theoretical and applied interests in computational geometry to continue the tradition of encouraging submissions of theoretical, applied, or experimental nature to the conference. Topics of theoretical nature include, but are not limited to, design and theoretical analysis of geometric algorithms and data structures; lower bounds for geometric problems; and discrete and combinatorial geometry. Topics of applied and experimental nature include, but are not limited to mathematical and numerical issues arising from implementations, experimental analysis of algorithms and data structures, and novel uses of computational geometry in other disciplines.
The accepted papers will be published by ACM in the symposium proceedings, which will be distributed to symposium participants, and available from ACM for purchase or through the digital library. A selection of papers from the conference will be invited to a special issue of Discrete and Computational Geometry.
We encourage the submission of papers supported by multimedia or video presentations. Supporting presentations will be automatically considered as a submission to the multimedia/video track, unless the authors request otherwise. Supporting material also counts favorably in the paper review process.
Paper Submission
Electronic submissions to www.cs.unc.edu/SCG04 in pdf or postscript are preferred. (For files over 5Mb, please contact one of the program chairs.) Authors may instead mail an extended abstract to either of the Program Co-Chairs, to arrive by December 12, 2003.

Submission Guidelines
Papers should be submitted in the form of an extended abstract, which begins with the title of the paper, each author's name, affiliation, and e-mail address, followed by a succinct statement of the problems and goals that are considered in the paper, the main results achieved, the significance of the work in the context of previous research, and a comparison to past research. The abstract should provide sufficient detail to allow the program committee to evaluate the validity, quality, and relevance of the contribution. The entire extended abstract should not exceed 10 pages, using 11 point or larger font and with at least one-inch margins all around. If the authors consider it absolutely essential to include additional technical details that do not fit into 10 pages, these details may be added in a clearly marked appendix that should appear after the body of the paper and the references; this appendix will not be regarded as a part of the submission and will be considered only at the program committee's discretion.
Abstracts in electronic form or hard copy must be received before the end of December 12, 2003 (Honolulu time). Late submissions will not be considered. Authors will be notified of acceptance or rejection by February 15, 2004. A full version of each contribution in final form will be due by March 15, 2004 for inclusion in the proceedings. LaTeX style files for preparing the final version of the camera-ready paper can be downloaded from http://www.acm.org/sigs/pubs/proceed/template.html.
