Shape Modeling International (SMI) 2011 is now welcoming the submission of papers.

The symposium website: 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.
