General
Marking the 20th year since inception as the Solid Modeling Symposium, this conference is being held in cooperation with ACM SIGGRAPH and the SIAM Activity Group on Geometric Design (pending). The focus of the conference is on the mathematical and computational issues that arise in generating, analyzing, and processing geometric information in applications such as: mechanical design, process planning, manufacturing, medicine, games, animation, geology, and virtual reality. The scope of activities encompasses a wide spectrum of scientific, technological, and other skills, ranging from rigorous mathematics to the subjective aesthetics of shape.

Scope
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
Biomedical applications of shape and solid modeling

Blend, sweep, offset, Minkowski, and other operations

Constraint modeling & satisfaction

Curve, surface, and manifold modeling

Data fitting and approximation

Design, analysis, simulation, automation and optimization

Dimensioning & tolerancing

Fidelity of physical models and representations

Function and assembly modeling

Geometric and topological representations of shapes

Geometric interrogation and reasoning

Geometry compression

Geo-scientific applications


Biomedical applications of shape and solid modeling

Manufacturing and assembly planning

Mesh processing

Model validation and repair

Multi-resolution techniques

Parametric and feature-based models and representations

Physically-based concepts for shape modeling

Product data standards, exchange, and interoperability

Reverse engineering, model reconstruction from samples

Robustness and validity of geometric computations

Shape analysis & understanding

User interaction and haptic interfaces

Virtual, collaborative and distributed environments

Paper Submissions
Previously unpublished work is solicited for publication and presentation at the conference. All paper submissions will be rigorously peer reviewed, and a limited number of papers will be chosen for publication in the conference proceedings. As in past years, we expect to refer selected papers for publication in major journals.

Important Dates
Paper Abstracts: February 1st, 2010
Full Paper Due: February 22th, 2010
Acceptance notification: April 30th, 2010
Final versions of accepted papers: due June 1st, 2010

Pre- and Post-conference Tours
An industrial tour to the Galilee (the northern part of Israel) as well as pre- and post-conference tours to Jerusalem, Nazereth, Tiberius, Sea of Galilee, Capernaum, Dead Sea & Massada, Caesarea, Acre, and Rosh Hanikra will be organized by the conference.
