A. Fabri - CGAL – The Computational Geometry Algorithms Library

The CGAL Project began in 1996 as part of the European FP4 Esprit program. Nearly thirty years later, it continues to be actively developed and widely used, and in 2023 it was recognized with the SoCG Test of Time Award. At its core, CGAL is a C++ library offering a broad range of geometric algorithms and data structures. This talk does not focus on scientific results, technical details, or commercial aspects. Instead, it will address organizational aspects of the CGAL Open Source Project: the reasoning behind license choices, the evolution of development infrastructure, the challenges of sustaining a long-term project, efforts to attract new contributors, and the role of GeometryFactory as a non-academic partner.

Oberseminar talk: Y. Jikumaru - Anisotropic energy descent and Minkowski-type formula for discrete surfaces

In architectural surface design, it is important to establish design methods for surfaces with "anisotropy" for the "ideal lighting". In this talk, we show a shape generation method for "orientation-based area distribution" via anisotropic energy descent for triangulated surfaces. Moreover, we discuss so-called the Minkowski-type formula for discrete setting, which holds for stationary surfaces of the energy.
