[General] International Geometry Summit 2016 (IGS2016): Call for Participation

Call for Participation International Geometry Summit 2016 (IGS2016) <http://www.geometrysummit.org> www.geometrysummit.org GEOMETRY SUMMIT The International Geometry Summit 2016 (IGS) is a joint event and co-location of the major conferences in applied geometry: • Symposium on Geometry Processing (SGP) • Shape Modeling International (SMI) • Solid and Physical Modeling (SPM) For the first time, the prominent international conferences SGP, SMI and SPM will join forces and showcase the breadth and the impact of applied geometry. The summit will combine the paper presentations from all three conferences, which have now been selected by the respected program committees and are available shortly on the conference website. The Fabrication and Sculpting Event (FASE) presents original research at the intersection of shape modeling and fabrication. INVITED SPEAKERS AND PUBLIC LECTURES A range of invited speakers will share their perspective as part of the conference program as well as in a public event open to the general public at Urania in Berlin: <http://www.urania.de/mathematik-architektur-und-design-mathematics-architec ture-and-design> www.urania.de/mathematik-architektur-und-design-mathematics-architecture-and -design Confirmed invited speakers include • Cristiano Ceccato, Zaha Hadid Architects • Tim Davis, Creator of SuiteSparse, Texas A&M • Rinus Roelofs, Sculptor, <http://www.rinusroelofs.nl> www.rinusroelofs.nl • Martin Rumpf, Universität Bonn • Henry Segerman, Oklahoma State University • undisclosed Solid Modeling Association - Bézier Award Winner REGISTRATION: Attendees enjoy all of the summit activities for a single registration. Early bird registration is open until May 29, 2016. The conference hotel offers a reduced room rate until May 20, 2016. The conference dinner, which is also included in the registration, will take place on top of the German parliament, the “Reichstag”. SUMMERSCHOOL: The Geometry Summit also offers a summer school taking place on the weekend before the conference (registration for the school is extra). Speakers of the summer school include: Noam Aigerman (Weizmann Institute), Pierre Alliez (INRIA Sophia Antipolis), Omri Azencot (Technion), Mirela Ben-Chen (Technion), David Bommes (RWTH Aachen), Marcel Campen (New York University), Ron Goldman (Rice University), Alec Jacobson (Columbia University), Shahar Kovalsky (Weizmann Institute), Justin Solomon (MIT), Bernhard Thomaszewski (Disney Research Zurich).
