 Call for Papers
 Special Issue on Applications of Geometric Modeling in the Life Sciences.
 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
