The programme will include two days of tutorials and three days of papers programme. Special Sessions will be organized on relevant topics. The Conference is organized by the Istituto per la Matematica Applicata of the CNR in cooperation with ACM SIGGRAPH and EUROGRAPHICS (pending). The Conference Proceedings will be published by IEEE Computer Society Press (pending). TOPICS ------------- The conference is devoted to all areas of shape modelling, included but not limited to: => Shape Modelling: Abstraction, Analysis and Transformation => Computational Basis for Shape Modelling => Topological Modelling of Shapes => Shape Recognition => Surface Modelling and Reconstruction => Geometric Modelling => Shape Rendering => Volume and Multidimensional Modelling => Interactive Shape Modelling CONFERENCE COMMITTEES ------------------------- Honorary Chair: Tosyasu L.
