Dear Colleagues, The 5th Geometric Modeling and Processing conference (GMP 2008) will be held in Hangzhou, China on April 23-25, 2008. Now the online submission system for GMP 2008 is available via its website: http://www.math.zju.edu.cn/gmp2008/conf 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). Please bookmark the conference website and check regularly for updates. *********Important Dates********* Currently we are planning the following tentative schedule for GMP 2008: Paper abstract submission due ------------- October 28 (Sunday), 2007 Full paper submission due ------------------- November 4 (Sunday), 2007 Acceptance decision -------------------------- December 16 (Sunday), 2007 Camera ready papers ------------------------ January 1, 2008 Conference dates ------------------------------ April 23-25, 2008 *********Scope********* GMP2008 warmly invites work in all areas of geometric modeling and computer graphics including, but not limited to Curves and surfaces Digital geometry processing Shape representation Multiresolution modeling Differential geometry Geometric constraint solving Geometric optimization Heterogeneous modeling Mathematical foundations of CAGD Dimensioning and geometric tolerances Geometric feature modeling and recognition *********Publications********* 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) *********Contact********* For conference-related queries and submission-related queries please contact: Ligang Liu (ligangliu@zju.edu.cn).
