The 16th Japan Conference on Discrete and Computational Geometry and Graphs
(JCDCG^2 2013) will be held on September 17-19, 2013 at Tokyo University of
Science, Tokyo, Japan (a different venue than in the past). The previous
conferences were held in Tokyo as JCDCG 1997, 1998, 1999, 2000, 2002, 2004,
2006, 2011 (Japan Conference on Discrete and Computational Geometry;
including domestic conferences); in Kyoto as KyotoCGGT 2007 (Kyoto
International Conference on Computational Geometry and Graph Theory); and
in Kanazawa as JCCGG 2009 (Japan Conference on Computational Geometry and
Graphs). Other conferences in this series were also held in the
Philippines (2001), Indonesia (2003), China (2005, 2010), and Thailand
(2012).

Topics of interest include but are not limited to:
- discrete geometry
- computational geometry
- graph theory
- graph algorithms
- algorithms and data structures
- exact or approximation algorithms
- combinatorial optimization
- randomized algorithms
- recreational mathematics

The collection of abstracts will be distributed on the site of the conference.

Submission format: Authors are required to submit an extended abstract of
at most 2 pages in a standard 10-point font on A4-paper through the
submission website:

Post-conference proceedings: A post-conference proceedings, which consists of
full papers of the talks in this conference, will be published as a volume of
Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS, Springer-Verlag). Papers will be
strictly refereed in keeping with the standards of LNCS. The submission
deadline is planning to be after the conference. Details will be announced later.
