From - Wed May 8 08:43:16 2002 Date: Thu, 11 Apr 2002 13:57:29 +0900 From: Alexander Pasko Organization: Hosei University Subject: SMI 2003 - 1st Call for Papers ============================================================= **** First CALL for PAPERS **** SMI'2003 Shape Modeling International '2003 INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON SHAPE MODELING AND APPLICATIONS Seoul National University Seoul, Korea, May 12-16 2003 http://cgvr.korea.ac.kr/SMI2003 ============================================================= SETTINGS ------------- Reasoning about shape is a common way of describing and representing objects in engineering, architecture, medicine, biology, physics and in daily life. Modelling shapes is part of both cognitive and creative processes and from the outset models of physical shapes have satisfied the desire to see the result of a project in advance. Recently, shape modeling has been extended to volumetric and multidimensional modeling reflecting time-dependent processes and various properties of real and abstract objects. SMI'2003 will be the fifth International Conference on Shape Modeling and Applications. From year 2002 the SMI conference became an annual event with the venue changing circularly from Asia to Europe, and to America, it has also included the Eurographics/ACM SIGGRAPH Workshop on Implicit Surfaces as a specific session. Previous events were held in 1997 and 1999 (Aizu-Wakamatsu, Japan), 2001 (Genova, Italy), and 2002 (Banff, Canada). The conference will include three days of papers program. Special sessions will be organized on relevant topics. The conference is organized by Korea Computer Graphics Society in cooperation with ACM SIGGRAPH (pending) and EUROGRAPHICS (pending). The Conference Proceedings will be published by IEEE Computer Society Press. TOPICS ------------- The conference is devoted to all areas of shape modeling, including but not limited to: => Shape Modeling: Abstraction, Analysis and Transformation => Topological Modeling of Shapes => Shape Recognition => Geometric Modeling => Surface Modeling and Reconstruction => Implicit Surfaces => Solid Modeling => Volume and Multidimensional Modeling => Compression and Simplification of Shape Models => Computational Basis for Shape Modeling => Interactive Shape Modeling => Modeling for Games and Entertainment => Shape Rendering CONFERENCE COMMITTEES ------------------------- Honorary Chairs: Tosyasu L.
