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, we recently expanded the name of the Symposium to Solid and Physical Modeling (SPM) 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 Tuesday June 6 to Thursday June 8, and will be hosted at Cardiff University, Wales, UK.
In addition to technical papers in plenary sessions, the program for SPM 2006 will include:
Keynote lectures
Panel sessions
The papers submission schedule is as follows (this is now the final schedule and remains unchanged from the provisional schedule):
Abstracts due: November 29, 2005
Full papers due: December 12, 2005
Review assignments: December 19, 2005
Final reviews due: February 20, 2006
Acceptance decisions: February 27, 2006
Final versions due: March 20, 2006
Abstracts and papers should be submitted using the site: http://web-info8.informatik.rwth-aachen.de/gateways/spm/
Abstracts are requested in advance to facilitate the review process and should be 150-300 words in length.
All manuscripts should contain original and unpublished work and should not be under review at another conference or journal.
The submission should be formatted according to ACM SIGGRAPH style guidelines and must not exceed the quota of 12 pages.
Appropriate template and formatting files are at http://www.siggraph.org/publications/instructions/acmsiggraph.zip
The author instructions document is located at http://www.siggraph.org/publications/instructions/author-instructions.pdf
The ACM copyright form is located at http://www.siggraph.org/publications/instructions/acm-copyright-form.pdf

All papers will be peer-reviewed by an international programme committee. Papers accepted as full technical contributions will be presented during the plenary sessions and will appear in the conference proceedings published by ACM Press. Other papers may be accepted for presentation in a poster session and will be published in the proceedings as extended abstracts.
