2005 ACM* Symposium on Solid and Physical Modeling (SPM)
June 13-15, 2005 at MIT, Cambridge, MA, USA
Abstracts: Oct 15, 2004 /Full papers: Nov 1, 2004
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 of their bounding surfaces.
This initial period was primarily focused on the theoretical and algorithmic tools that produce and exploit unambiguous representations of the geometry of such objects. We continue to seek research contributions that strive to advance the domain, accuracy, and effectiveness of such representations and algorithms.
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, we have expanded the name of the Symposium to Solid and Physical Modeling (abbreviated SPM). To meet these goals, we 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.
Finally, as the field of Solid Modeling is maturing, we wish to promote its impact on important application areas. To this effect, in addition to a general track, we have created special tracks on:
Biomedical Applications
Physical Modeling and Simulation
Design, Analysis, and Manufacturing
Each special track will offer a keynote presentation, a panel with domain experts to explore cross-disciplinary research opportunities, and one or two sessions of reviewed papers.
SPM will be run in plenary sessions (no parallel tracks) from Monday June 13 to Wednesday June 15, 2005. SPM will be followed by the Shape Modeling International (SMI) conference, which will start on Wednesday June 15 with a shared day with SPM and will last until Friday June 17.
Both SPM and SMI events are part of the 2005 Joint Convention on Solids and Shapes, (S&S'05), which will be hosted at MIT and chaired by Prof. Nick Patrikalakis. The 2004 Joint Convention on Shapes and Solids took place in Genoa Italy.
All papers will be refereed. The proceedings of SPM will be published by the ACM. Two special journal issues of selected papers are also being planned.
