CALL FOR PAPERS SMI2016
Shape Modelling International 2016
Freie Universität Berlin (Germany),  June 20-24, 2016
http://www.geometrysummit.org/smi2016/index.html

Paper deadline: March 11
Novel this year: SMI Reproducibility Award

Shape Modeling International, which this year is part of the International Geometry Summit (IGS), 
provides an international forum for the dissemination of new mathematical theories and computational 
techniques for modeling, simulating and processing digital representations of shapes and their properties 
to a community of researchers, developers, students, and practitioners across a wide range of fields. 
Conference proceedings (long and short papers) will be published in a special issue of 
Computer & Graphics Journal (Elsevier) after a rigorous two-stage review process. 
Papers presenting original research are being sought in all areas of shape modeling and its applications.

NEW THIS YEAR: For the first time, the prominent international conferences 
Symposium on Geometry Processing (SGP), Shape Modeling International (SMI) and 
the Symposium on Solid & Physical Modeling (SPM) will join forces and showcase the breadth 
and the impact of applied geometry. Attendees enjoy all of this for a single registration to the summit. 
In addition, the IGS summer school will be offered for excellent younger researchers (at additional cost).

This year, also SMI will introduce an Award for Reproducibility to be granted to authors of accepted papers 
who are willing to provide a complete open-source implementation of their algorithm.
