Conference organization
— M. Teillaud co-organized the workshop “Subdivide and Tile: Triangulating spaces for understanding the world”, with Gert Vegter and Rien van de Weijgaert. The workshop proposal was reviewed and accepted by the Lorentz Center in Leiden, and was held from 16 Nov 2009 through 20 Nov 2009. The workshop was supported by the Lorentz Center and by the INRIA Associate Team OrbiCG. 46 participants from many countries (Australia, Austria, Germany, Spain, United Kingdom, United States, not to mention the Netherlands and France) attended the workshop.
The purpose of this workshop was to bring together researchers with different areas of expertise to exchange knowledge on various aspects of geometric computing in a variety of different spaces. The multidisciplinarity of the participants was an important aspect of the workshop. Participants came from areas like mathematics, computational geometry, software engineering, astronomy, molecular biology, physics, chemistry, fluid dynamics.
The list of participants, the program, as well as the slides of talks, are available from the workshop web site http://www.lorentzcenter.nl/lc/web/2009/357/info.php3?wsid=357 .
— M. Teillaud was invited to co-organize the Dagstuhl Seminar on Computational Geometry, with Pankaj K. Agarwal (Duke University) and Helmut Alt (Freie Universität Berlin). 42 participants from the international community attended, among whom most gave talks. The list can be found on the Seminar web page http://www.dagstuhl.de/no_cache/en/program/calendar/semhp/?semnr=2009111 (some of the slides are also available on the site) and in the proceedings [47] .
— In the framework of the European Corordinated action FOCUS K3D, Pierre Alliez and Mariette Yvinec co-organized the “Workshop on anatomical model” with Michela Spagnuolo from the CNR-IMATI institute in Genova. The workshop was held at INRIA Sophia Antipolis on june 16-17th, featured 15 talks and gathered more than 35 persons. The goal of the workshop was to bring together interdisciplinary people to discuss recent results and research directions in the field of modelling anatomical objects for diagnosis, therapy planning, surgery simulation or legal medicine applications, with an emphasis on knowledge technologies applied to computer-aided medicine.
— S. Oudot organized the workshop Recent Advances on Topological and Geometric Data Analysis for the associated team TGDA. The workshop was held at the Institut des Systèmes Complexes (Paris, 5ème), from July 8th to July 10th 2009. Its goal was to present the latest results obtained in the area of computational topology, both within the associated team TGDA and outside. It gathered about 40 scientists, including some people from other scientific communities who share an interest in topological approaches, like machine learning and wireless sensor networks.
