Many algorithms within Computer Aided Geometric Design combine algebraic and parametric representations of curves and surfaces. This workshop aims at promoting the dialogue between the algebraic geometry and the CAGD communities. The EU-sponsored IST-FET Project GAIA II has mixed researchers from both communities for addressing the challenges of surface intersection and surfaces self-intersection within Computer Aided Design.

 

The workshop programme will consist of:

1. Invited speakers
2. Special and contributed presentations (proposal to be submitted by August 15th)
3. State-of-the-art overviews and research results from the GAIA II project. Focus on implicitization, parameterization, classification and intersection algorithms for CAD.

The first Computational Methods for Algebraic Spline Surfaces (COMPASS) workshop took place in 2003 in Austria supported by the GAIA II project of  EU's  IST-FET Open Program and the European Science Foundation. As the GAIA II project is ending it is natural to make a second COMPASS workshop (sponsored by Centre of Mathematics for Applications at the University of Oslo). The workshop is arranged in cooperation with the Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics (SIAM) Activity Group on Geometric Design.
