Based on the first Workshop for Women in Computational Topology that took place in 2016 this
volume assembles new research and applications in computational topology. Featured articles
range over the breadth of the discipline including topics such as surface reconstruction
topological data analysis persistent homology algorithms and surface-embedded graphs.
Applications in graphics medical imaging and GIS are discussed throughout the book. Four of
the papers in this volume are the product of working groups that were established and developed
during the workshop. Additional papers were also solicited from the broader Women in
Computational Topology network. The volume is accessible to a broad range of researchers both
within the field of computational topology and in related disciplines such as statistics
computational biology and machine learning.
