The seventh annual Bellairs Workshop on Computer Animation will
focus on simulaiton and robotics, and will operate as a subgroup within
workshop
on computational geometry. Bellairs workshops help foster
collaborations, new, old, and across disciplines. This year's format provides an opporunity to work on problems related simulation and robotics but in particular, problems that involve geometry and computation.
The workshop will take place at McGill University's Bellairs
Research Institute and will be held Friday 6 February to Friday 13
February. Participants should plan to arrive at the Bridgetown
airport in the afternoon on Friday. Shared taxi service
(approximately 35 USD one way) will be organized via a Google
spreadsheet. Note that when you are in Barbados, prices are always
quoted in Barbados dollars, but you can always pay with US dollars as
there is a fixed 2 Barbados to 1 USD exchange rate. The collocated
computational geometry workshop has an excellent page listing
other practical
information.
The Bellairs facilities are
relatively primitive (and inexpensive), so there are few distractions
such as those typically found in hotels. Accommodation is very basic
(in most cases double occupancy), and with meals costs between 70 and
85 USD per day. Reservations must be made through the workshop
organizers. Due to space limitations, participation at the workshop
is by invitation only. For more information about this workshop, please contact Paul Kry.
