CALL FOR PAPERS
General Infomation

Since its inception in 1991, the ACM Symposium on Solid Modeling and Applications has been the primary venue for disseminating research results in the design, representation, analysis, visualization, and use of digital models of real or planned solid objects and their bounding surfaces. We continue to seek research contributions that advance the domain, accuracy, and effectiveness of such algorithms and representations.

At the same time, modeling solids entails not only modeling their geometric shape, but also their physical properties and behaviors. To emphasize this broader mission, the name of the Symposium was expanded to Solid and Physical Modeling (SPM) in 2005, and now encourage submissions dealing with the analysis, simulation, modeling, and animation of the behavior of objects and their properties as functions of space and time, possibly in response to interactions with a human user or the environment.

SPM will be run in plenary sessions (no parallel tracks) from Monday June 4 to Wednesday June 6, and will be hosted by Tsinghua University, Beijing, China. This is the first time for ACM SPM in Asia.
