The ICECGDG Conference Series<\/span><\/h2>\n

[\/split_line_heading][vc_column_text]The first Conference was held in Vancouver, Canada (1978), and hosted by the Engineering Design Graphics Division of the American Society for Engineering Education. The conference was called \u201cInternational Conference on Descriptive Geometry.\u201d Since then the conferences have been held almost every two years. The late Steve M. Slaby, Emeritus Professor of Princeton University, founded the international conference.<\/p>\n

The 2nd International Conference on Engineering Computer Graphics and Descriptive Geometry (ICECGDG) was held in Beijing, China (1984).<\/p>\n

The 3rd ICECGDG was held in Vienna, Austria (1988). Prof. Kenjiro Suzuki proposed the establishment of a permanent commission that could offer a platform to exchange information. The proposal was approved by all the participants, and a preparatory committee was launched. The members of the committee were Prof.\u00a0Slaby, Prof.\u00a0Suzuki and Prof.\u00a0Stachel.<\/p>\n

The 4th ICECGDG was held in Miami, USA (1990). The first draft for a new international society was approved. It was named \u201cInternational Society for Geometry and Graphics\u201d and a steering committee was established. The steering committee prepared a draft of bylaws including objectives, a constitution, operations, etc.<\/p>\n

The 5th ICECGDG was held in Melbourne, Australia (1992). In this conference, bylaws for the new international society were approved, and the International Society for Geometry and Graphics (ISGG) was formally established in order to foster international collaboration and to stimulate scientific researches and teaching methodologies in the fields of Geometry and Graphics.<\/p>\n

The 6th ICECGDG was held in Tokyo, Japan (1994). That year, the web site of the ISGG<\/a> was launched.<\/p>\n

The 7th ICECGDG was held in Cracow, Poland (1996). The decision was made to publish the International Journal for Geometry and Graphics<\/a> on a semiyearly basis. The first issue was planned for 1997 with selected papers from the 7th ICECGDG.<\/p>\n

In 1997, the first issue<\/a> of the Journal for Geometry and Graphics was published through Prof.\u00a0Stachel’s efforts.<\/p>\n

The 8th ICECGDG was held in Texas, USA (1998). In this conference, the ISGG was formally recognized as the host organization of the conference. The semantic contents and areas of specialization were discussed in the forum called \u201cTaxonomy of Geometry and Graphics.\u201d As outcomes of this forum, the name of the conference was changed from ICECGDG to ICGG (International Conference on Geometry and Graphics) with the sequential serial number. You can find the report of this forum in JGG Vol.2, No.2 (1988).[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column column_padding=”padding-2-percent” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” width=”1\/2″ tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][split_line_heading]<\/p>\n
