[General] SMI 2011 call for papers

Shape Modeling International (SMI) 2011 is now welcoming the submission of papers. The symposium website: <http://www1.idc.ac.il/SMI2011/> http://www1.idc.ac. il/SMI2011/ SMI 2011 will be held at the Interdisciplinary Center, Herzliya, Israel on June 22-24, 2011. It provides an international forum for the dissemination of new mathematical theories and computational techniques for modeling, simulating and processing digital representations of shapes and their properties to a community of researchers, developers, students, and practitioners across a wide range of fields. Papers presenting original research are being sought in all areas of shape and animation processing and its applications, including (but not limited to): * Acquisition & reconstruction * Interactive design & editing * Sketching & 3D input * Shape matching & retrieval * Compression & streaming * Computational topology * Curves and surfaces * Implicit surfaces * Shape transformation & deformation * Shape analysis * Semantics of shapes * Volume & multidimensional modeling * Features extraction & classification * Correspondence & registration * Parametric & procedural models * Segmentation * Healing & resampling * Multi-resolution techniques All accepted submissions will be published either as full-length or short journal papers in issue 35(3) of Computers & Graphics (Elsevier). All submissions will be handled via the Elsevier EES system.
