Continuing with the tradition established two years ago, SGP and Geometry Factory will present the third software award at this year’s SGP, encouraging researchers to produce and share high-quality code.
To this end, we would like to solicit nominations from the community for candidate code:
awardnominations@geometryprocessing.org
The goal of the award is to support researchers who go beyond the call-of-duty in making their code publicly available, thereby making it easier for our community to build on their research and helping advance our field.
We are open to considering both code from within our field (e.g. geometry processing and computational geometry) and from without (e.g. numerical methods).
While availability of source code is desirable as it makes it easier for researchers to explore new variations, we will also consider code released in executable and library/header-file format.
In evaluating the code we will consider (among other factors): robustness of execution, quality of documentation, breadth of applicability, and ease of integration/extension.
The deadline for nominations will be May 5th 2013.
