The International Symposium on Computational Geometry (SoCG) is an academic conference in computational geometry.. Also available as a Princeton University technical report TR-521-96. Today its acronym is pronounced "sausage." It was founded in 1985, with the program committee consisting of David Dobkin, Joseph O'Rourke, Franco Preparata, and Godfried Toussaint; O'Rourke was the conference chair. The symposium was originally sponsored by the SIGACT and SIGGRAPH Special Interest Groups of the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM).A brief history of SOCG and ACM, Jeff Erickson (chair, SOCG steering committee), June 5, 2014; discussion SoCG vs ACM. It dissociated from the ACM in 2014, motivated by the difficulties of organizing ACM conferences outside the United States and by the possibility of turning to an open-access system of publication.Posting by Jeff Erickson, chair of the SoCG steering committee, July 16, 2014. Since 2015 the conference proceedings have been published by the Leibniz International Proceedings in Informatics instead of by the ACM.Symposium on Computational Geometry, DBLP, accessed 2020-12-30. Since 2019 the conference has been organized under the auspices of the newly formed Society for Computational Geometry.Society for Computational Geometry Articles of Incorporation, accessed 2019-08-25.
A 2010 assessment of conference quality by the Australian Research Council listed it as "Rank A"..
