This is the First Announcement of the WORKSHOP ON DISTANCE GEOMETRY
 AND APPLICATIONS - DGA'2013, which will take place in a jungle hotel,
 along the Amazon river and in the middle of the Amazon rainforest, one
 of the world greatest natural environments and huge biodiversity
 hotspots, close to Manaus, capital of the Amazonas state, Brazil, on
 June 24-27, 2013.
 
The aim of the Workshop is to bring together researchers in
 multidisciplinary fields, with emphasis on Distance Geometry (DG).
 Distance Geometry is an area of research already consolidated, with
 Mathematics and Computation as key areas in its foundation. The
 concept of distance is essential to the human experience and DG puts
 this concept as the main object in a given geometric structure. The
 fundamental problem of DG is to find a set of points in a given
 geometric space whose distances between some of these points are
 known.
 
Besides the beauty of the mathematical theory associated to DG, the
 interest in this research topic is explained by the richness and
 variety of its applications. Among the best known ones we find
 molecular structure determination, localization of sensor networks,
 graph rigidity, graph realization, data visualization, and robotics.
 
We accept contributions in the form of extended abstracts (maximum 4
 pages) to be published in the workshop proceedings without copyright.
 They will be presented in a poster session, which will be a very
 important part of the workshop. The best accepted extended abstracts
 will be selected for a special session of oral presentations (5-10 min
 presentations).
 
There will be a special issue of the journal "Discrete Applied
 Mathematics (DAM)", where the participants will be invited to submit
 their corresponding full papers.
 
Submissions will be accepted from October 2012, to February 4, 2013.
 The registration fee, the invited speakers, and additional information
 will be provided later in the Second Announcement. The official
 language of the workshop is English.
