DIMACS Workshop on Algorithmic Issues in Modeling Motion
November 18 - 20, 2002
DIMACS Center, Rutgers University, Piscataway, NJ
Organizers:
Pankaj K. Agarwal, Duke University, pankaj at cs.duke.edu
Leonidas J. Guibas, Stanford University, guibas at cs.stanford.edu
Presented under the auspices of the DIMACS Special Focus on
Computational Geometry and Applications.
Motion, like shape, is one of the fundamental modalities to be modeled
in order to represent and manipulate the physical world in a
computer. As such, motion representations and the algorithms that
operate on them are central to all computational disciplines dealing
with physical objects: computer graphics, computer vision, robotics,
etc. Modeling motion is also crucial for other disciplines dealing
with temporally varying data, including mobile networks, temporal data
bases, etc. Motion algorithms require computational resources, and
frequently sensing and communication resources as well, in order to
accomplish their task. Despite the prominent position that motion
plays in so many computer disciplines, little has been done to date to
provide a clean conceptual framework for representing motion,
describing algorithms on moving objects, and analyzing their behavior
and performance.
This workshop aims to bring together people from the different
research communities interested in algorithmic issues related to
moving objects. The workshop will address core algorithmic issues as
well as aspects of modeling and analyzing motion. The goal is to
debate and discuss the issues in representing, processing, reasoning,
analyzing, searching, and visualizing moving objects; to identify key
research issues that need to be addressed, and to help establish
relationships which can be used to strengthen and foster collaboration
across the different areas.
