--- INTERNATIONAL SUMMER SCHOOL ON SHAPE MODELING AND REASONING 2007 ---

Genova - June 18-22,  2007 ---- http://shapesummerschool07.disi.unige.it

The school will focus on representations and computational techniques for modeling and reasoning on digital shapes (3D objects, pictures, sketches, images, videos, etc.)
The program will consist of invited lectures, given by leading international scientists in the field, who will present state-of-the-art techniques on shape modeling and reasoning, and will bring complementary views of problems and solutions.
The school is organized and hosted by the Department of Computer Science (DISI) of the University of Genova in collaboration with the Institute for Applied Mathematics and Information Technology of Italian National Research Council and the Israel Institute of Technology (TECHNION) within the EU FP6 Network of Excellence AIM@SHAPE .
