Dear Colleagues, Please consider to contribute and distribute to the appropriate groups the following The 5th Geometric Modeling and Processing conference (GMP 2008) will be held in Hangzhou, China on April 23-25, 2008: http://www.math.zju.edu.cn/gmp2008 Geometric Modeling and Processing (GMP) is a biannual international conference series on geometric modeling, simulation and computing. The modeling and processing of geometric data is fundamental to many computer applications, including computer graphics, computer vision, CAD/CAM, medical imaging, engineering analysis, robotics and scientific computation. GMP conferences provide researchers and practitioners with a forum for exchanging new ideas, discussing new applications, and presenting new solutions. GMP2008 is the fifth GMP conference. The previous GMP conferences were held in Pittsburgh, USA(2006),Beijing (2004), Tokyo (2002), and Hong Kong (2000). GMP2008 solicits original technical papers on topics including, but not limited to: . Geometric Constraint solving . Geometric optimization . Heterogeneous modeling . Multiresolution modeling . Mathematical foundations of CAGD . Shape representation . Curves and Surfaces . Digital geometry processing . Differential geometry . Dimensioning and geometric tolerances . Geometric feature modeling and recognition The GMP2008 conference proceedings will be published as a volume of Lecture Notes in Computer Science, Springer-Verlag. Selected papers from the conference will be published in special issues of some prestigious journals including . Computer Aided Geometric Design (SCI) . Computer-Aided Design (SCI) . Journal of Zhejiang University (SCI) Currently we are planning the following tentative schedule for GMP 2008: . Paper abstract submission due ------------- October 28, 2007 . Full paper submission due ------------------- November 4, 2007 . Acceptance decision -------------------------- December 16, 2007 . Camera ready papers ------------------------ January 1, 2008 . Conference dates ------------------------------ April 23-25, 2008 You are invited to submit a paper to GMP 2008. Thank you very much for your contribution and support to GMP 2008. We are looking forward to seeing you in Hangzhou in 2008! Best wishes, Ron Goldman and Guozhao Wang GMP 2008 Co-Chairs Email: gmp2008@zju.edu.cn URL: http://www.math.zju.edu.cn/gmp2008
