Empowering Novel Geometric Algebra for Graphics &Engineering Workshop @ CGI 2019 – 18th June 2019
Call for Papers
http://www.cgs-network.org/cgi19/
Since ACM SIGGRAPH2001 and 2003 conferences, there
has been limited attention on the benefits of employing W. K.
Clifford's geometric algebras (GA) in solving computer
graphics and vision problems. In the meantime, the geometricalgebra community focused on GA applications and greatly
advanced it as an adequate and viable computing technology.
The Workshops at CGI’2016 on “Geometric Algebra inComputer Science and Engineering” and at CGI’2017, 2018
on “Empowering Novel Geometric Algebra for Graphics &Engineering” began to bridge that gap.
Under the auspices of CGI’19 (17-20 June), ENGAGE(Empowering Novel Geometric Algebra for Graphics &Engineering) on June 18th in Calgary, Canada, will again
engage in a multi-disciplinary approach from mathematics,
applied to computer graphics, computer vision and generalcomputer science fields where GA has strong potential toprovide answers to existing mathematical problems.
GA is in a particularly well suited to allow crossdisciplinary solutions in software engineering as it provides
an intuitive and insightful common denominator acrossmathematical disciplines that have often advanced
application specific. Understanding GA enables us to relatedistinct, seemingly incompatible paths by providing acommon mathematical base. We invite original contributors
in the form of full and short papers, which advance the stateof-the-art of the application of geometric algebra as well asof its computing technology in topics related, but notlimited to:➢ Feature Detection & Data Analysis➢ LIDAR and Point Cloud Algorithms➢ Scientific & Information Visualization➢ Computer graphics rendering➢ Computer animation and video processing➢ Holographic optics & Holographic maps
➢ Geographic Information Systems➢ Soundscape & Electromagnetic landscape Modelling➢ Augmented and Virtual Reality➢ Application of Clifford Fourier transforms and Clifford
wavelets to 2D and 3D images, including color images➢ Higher dimensional geometric algebras➢ GA Computing and Quantum Computing➢ GA hardware implementations➢ GA for Artificial Intelligence➢ GA for ubiquitous information processing➢ GA for Big Data processing & visualization➢ Other engineering/applied science applications using

Accepted full length ENGAGE papers will be published in
the topical collection “Geometric Algebra for Computing,Graphics and Engineering” of the Journal Advances inApplied Clifford Algebras (AACA), published by Springer,
and have to be orally presented at the conference. See the“Instruction for Authors” at AACA. Online paper submission
at https://www.editorialmanager.com/aaca/Default.aspx has
deadline of February 12th 2019. At the time of submission,authors must indicate the topical collection “ENGAGE 2019Geometric Algebra for Computing, Graphics andEngineering”.
It is further possible to submit papers directly to the CGI
conference LNCS proceedings, both short and full, by March
25th deadline. All authors of accepted ENGAGE related
papers will be invited either to an oral or poster presentation.

After the workshop, extended versions of well ranked shortpapers of the workshop proceedings will be invited for
publication in Topical Collection “ENGAGE 2019Geometric Algebra for Computing, Graphics andEngineering” of the journal Advances in Applied Clifford
Algebras (AACA), published by Springer.
