Since 2006, Pascal Schreck is co-organizer together with Dominique Michelucci and Xiao-Shan Gao of a session dedicated to constraints and geometrical reasoning which is part of the conference ACM SAC (Symposium on Applied Computing). The 2008 edition of this session - called GCR08 - is described at this address : http://axis.u-strasbg.fr/gcr08 (see also [6-GMS07]).
Caroline Essert organized, in the scope of the french-japanese project JST-CNRS "Improving the VR experience", a french-japanese workshop in Rennes and Strasbourg in March 2009.

The whole research group is linked to this GDR (Research Action) through the workgroups « Modélisation Géométrique » (Geometric Modeling), « Visualisation et Rendu » (Visualization and Rendering) and « Animation et Simulation » (Animation and Simulation).
We are also linked to the GDR IM « Informatique Mathématiques » (Computer Science and Mathematics) via the workgroup « Modélisation Géométrique » (Geometric Modeling). We should also soon be linked to the new GDR GPL, in the new workgroup « Langages, Types et Preuves » (Languages, Types and Proofs).
