CALL FOR PAPERS: SHAPE MODELING INTERNATIONAL (SMI) 2023

Shape Modeling International (SMI) 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. Conference proceedings will be published in a Special Issue of Computer & Graphics Journal, Elsevier. Papers presenting original research are sought in all areas of shape modeling and its applications.
This year SMI will be held in Genova, July 4-6, as part of the International Geometry Summit, together with SGP, SPM, GMP and GD.
SMI also participates in the Replicability Stamp Initiative, an additional recognition for authors who are willing to go one step further, and in addition to publishing the paper, provide a complete open-source implementation. For more details, check the SMI2023 website.

SUBMISSION:

Papers should present previously unpublished, original results that are not simultaneously submitted elsewhere.
The SMI conference will use a double-blind review process. Consequently, all submissions must be anonymous.
All papers should be submitted using the easychair website.
Submissions should be formatted according to the style guidelines for the Computers &Graphics Journal and should not exceed 12 pages, including figures and references. We strongly recommend using the LaTeX template to format your paper. We also accept papers formatted by MS Word according to the style guidelines for Computers & Graphics. The file must be exported to a pdf file for the first round of submission. For format details, please refer to the Computers & Graphics Journal Guide for Authors.
