Symposium on Computational Geometry

<p>The International Symposium on Computational Geometry (SoCG) is an <a href="/facts/Academic_conference/0YAVfxe3">academic conference</a> in <a href="/facts/Computational_geometry/eeaotQtl">computational geometry</a>. Today its acronym is pronounced "sausage." It was founded in 1985, with the program committee consisting of David Dobkin, Joseph O'Rourke, Franco Preparata, and Godfried Toussaint; O'Rourke was the conference chair. The symposium was originally sponsored by the <a href="/facts/ACM_SIGACT/E4QBwEy8">SIGACT</a> and <a href="/facts/ACM_SIGGRAPH/dawfoucY">SIGGRAPH</a> Special Interest Groups of the <a href="/facts/Association_for_Computing_Machinery/abI2atlP">Association for Computing Machinery</a> (ACM). It dissociated from the ACM in 2014, motivated by the difficulties of organizing ACM conferences outside the United States and by the possibility of turning to an <a href="/facts/Open_access/r7rLYN6C">open-access</a> system of publication. Since 2015 the conference proceedings have been published by the <a href="/facts/Leibniz_International_Proceedings_in_Informatics/1Er7I3h0">Leibniz International Proceedings in Informatics</a> instead of by the ACM. Since 2019 the conference has been organized under the auspices of the newly formed Society for Computational Geometry.
</p><p>A 2010 assessment of conference quality by the Australian Research Council listed it as "Rank A".
