Guest Editors: Hans J. Wolters (Celera Genomics) and Bernd Hamann (UC Davis) CAGD is the premier journal for publications related to geometric design and modeling. Geometric Modeling comprises all methods that are based on concepts from applied geometry as well as computational geometry with emphasis on methods that use three-dimensional techniques. In order to expand the application domains of geometric modeling, CAGD is seeking original papers for a special issue on Applications of Geometric Modeling in the Life Sciences. The goal is to bridge the gap between geometric modeling and applications in the life sciences. For example, we are interested in novel geometric modeling approaches in areas like brain modeling, computational biology, and computational chemistry. Further, three-dimensional modeling techniques as applied to developing new descriptors and representations for macromolecules (proteins) as well as small molecules are of interest. Papers may also address computational drug discovery, where shape is a major consideration together with chemical features. In summary, the papers submitted should address novel geometric modeling approaches in the following, or closely related, areas: - Computational drug discovery - Protein structure modeling and folding - Molecular surfaces and its descriptors - Modeling of brain structure and other organs - Computational and mathematical biology and bioinformatics Important Dates: Submission Deadline: July 1st, 2005 Notification: August 15th, 2005 Revised Manuscript Submission: September 15th, 2005 Revised Manuscript Notification: October 15th, 2005 Final Version Due: November 1st, 2005 Electronic Submission: Papers should be submitted electronically via the new submission system of Computer-Aided Geometric Design, which will be available around May 15th at http://ees.elsevier.com/cagd/. This page is currently still under construction. Please do not submit your paper as long as this site is still under construction. Detailed formatting instructions are available at http://authors.elsevier.com/journal/cagd. All submissions will be reviewed in accordance with the usual standards of CAGD, hence all dates but the submission deadline are tentative. Hans J.
