The Symposium on Solid and Physical Modeling 2016 (SPM 2016) will be co-located in Berlin with Shape Modeling International (SMI) and the Symposium on Geometry Processing (SGP) as part of the Geometry Summit in 2016. SPM seeks high quality, original research contributions that strive to advance all aspects of geometric and physical modeling, and their application in design, analysis and manufacturing, as well as in biomedical, geophysical, digital entertainment, and other areas. The symposium is organized with the support of the Solid Modeling Association (SMA), which will award the 2016 Pierre Bézier Prize for contributions to solid, shape, and physical modeling during the conference.

Please notice that two days prior to the conference a summer school for graduate students (but not only) is organized.
