Scientific Events Organisation

Member of Organizing Committees

• Sylvain Lazard organized with S. Whitesides (Victoria University) the 15th Workshop on Computational Geometry at the Bellairs Research Institute of McGill University in Feb. (1 week workshop on invitation).

• Monique Teillaud co-organized the workshop 20 years of CGAL, with Efi Fogel, Michael Hoffmann, and Emo Welzl, Zurich, Switzerland, September 10-11, and she gave a talk.

Scientific Events Selection

Member of Conference Program Committees

• Monique Teillaud was a member of the program committee of EuroCG, European Workshop on Computational Geometry.

Reviewer

• All members of the team are regular reviewers for the conferences of our field, namely the Symposium on Computational Geometry (SoCG) and the International Symposium on Symbolic and Algebraic Computation (ISSAC) and also SODA, CCCG, EuroCG.

Journal

Member of the Editorial Boards

• Monique Teillaud is a managing editor of JoCG, Journal of Computational Geometry. She is also a member of the Editorial Board of IJCGA, International Journal of Computational Geometry and Applications. She resigned from the Editorial Board of CGTA, Computational Geometry: Theory and Applications, after unsuccessfully trying to convince the Editorial Board to leave Elsevier and move to a free (libre and gratis) open-access model.

• Marc Pouget and Monique Teillaud are members of the CGAL editorial board.

• Olivier Devillers resigned from the Editorial Board of Graphical Models (Elsevier) after discussion to move to a free open-access model.

Reviewer - Reviewing Activities

• All members of the team are regular reviewers for the journals of our field, namely Discrete and Computational Geometry (DCG), Computational Geometry. Theory and Applications (CGTA), Journal of Computational Geometry (JoCG), International Journal on Computational Geometry and Applications (IJCGA), Journal on Symbolic Computations (JSC), SIAM Journal on Computing (SICOMP), Mathematics in Computer Science (MCS), etc.

Invited Talks

• Olivier Devillers was invited to give a talk at the geometry week organized by GipsaLab in Grenoble.

• Guillaume Moroz was invited to give talks at the LIGM seminar in Marne-la-Vallée university, at the SpecFun team seminary in Inria Saclay and at the MSDOS workshop in CIRM.

• Monique Teillaud was invited to give a talk talk at the seminar Computer Science meets Mathematics of the University of Luxembourg, February 8: “CGAL, geometry made practical”. She was invited to give a talk at the Mittagsseminar of Institute of Theoretical Computer Science of ETH Zürich on September 8: “Delaunay triangulations on orientable surfaces of low genus”.
