Advancing front techniques are a family of methods for finite element mesh generation that are particularly effective in dealing with complicated boundary geometries. In the first part of this paper, conditions are presented which ensure that any planar aft algorithm that meets these conditions terminates in a finite number of steps with a valid triangulation of the input domain. These conditions are described by specifying a framework of subtasks that can accommodate many aft methods and by prescribing the minimal requirements on each subtask that ensure correctness of an algorithm that conforms to the framework.
