S3PM-2017 :: International Convention on

Shape, Solid, Structure, & Physical Modeling

Design, Modeling, Representation, Processing, Analysis, and Visualization of Shapes, Solids, Structures, Materials, Properties, and Behaviors.

Shape Modeling International (SMI)

The Shape Modeling International (SMI-2017) Symposium will be co-located with Symposium on Solid and Physical Modeling (SPM2017) as part of the International Convention on Shape, Solid, Structure, & Physical Modeling (S3PM-2017) in Berkeley, California.

SMI is the premier international forum for the dissemination of new mathematical theories and novel computational techniques for modeling, simulating, and processing digital shape representations. SMI gathers a wide community of researchers, developers, practitioners, and students in academia and industry.

Conference proceedings will be published in a special issue of the Journal of Computers & Graphics (Elsevier) after a rigorous two-stage review process.

More information on topics, paper format, submission guidelines, and important dates are given below.

  Paper Format

Submissions should be formatted according to the style guidelines for Computers & Graphics (Elsevier) and should not exceed 12 pages, including figures and references, since all accepted papers will appear in a special issue of the said journal.

We strongly recommend using the LaTeX template to format your paper. But we also accept papers formatted by MS Word according to the style guidelines for Computers & Graphics (Elsevier). The file must be submitted in PDF format for the first round of submission.

Please refer to the Computers & Graphics Guide for Authors for format details and LaTeX instructions/template.

Double-Blind Review: The SMI-2017 conference will use a double-blind review process. Consequently, all submissions must be anonymous.


  Submission

Abstracts: An abstract should be submitted to the Abstract Submission Form before Tuesday, March 28th at 23:59 UTC/GMT.

Full Papers: All papers (maximum 12 pages) should be submitted directly via the journal Online Submission System of Computers & Graphics (Elsevier) before Monday, April 3rd at 23:59 UTC/GMT.

Important Update: Although the abstract deadline has passed, we still accept full paper submissions on the journal Online Submission System until April 3rd, but please preliminarily send an e-mail directly to the SMI Program Chairs at smi17pc@ge.imati.cnr.it indicating the paper title, author names, abstract and keywords. Please indicate "SMI 2017 - Late abstract submission" in the subject of your e-mail.

Note: When submitting your paper to SMI-2017, please make sure that the type of article is specified as "SI: SMI 2017".

Peer-reviewed papers should present previously unpublished, original results that are not simultaneously submitted elsewhere.

All submission will be rigorously peer-reviewed by members of the international program committee. All accepted papers will be published in the journal of Computers & Graphics (Elsevier).

Any accepted paper is required to have at least one author or qualified proxy to attend and present the paper at the conference.

If you have any technical problems on paper submission, please contact the Program Chairs for inquiry.

SPM-2017 :: Submitting a Poster

  Submission

SMI-2017 will have a joint poster session with SPM-2017 and will accept proposals for posters in the form of abstracts. An abstract should be submitted to the Poster Submission Form before Friday, May 5th at 23:59 UTC/GMT.

If you would like your poster to be accessible online before, during, and after the conference (recommended for maximal exposure), send a digital version (in PDF format) to s3pm@icsi.berkeley.edu before June 15th.


  Poster Format

The abstracts should contain the title, the names/affiliations/URLs of the authors, and a brief (at most 400 words) outline of the problem discussed and of the contribution presented.

The display information and specifications (e.g., poster size) will be communicated along with the acceptance notifications to the authors.

Acceptable poster sizes are ANSI E (34.0 in x 44.0 in = 864 mm × 1118 mm) and ISO A0 (33.1 in x 46.8 in = 841 mm x 1189 mm). The authors are responsible for printing and bringing the posters to the conference.


  Important Dates (Deadlines @ 23:59 UTC/GMT)

  May 05, 2017 :: Poster Abstracts Due

  May 12, 2017 :: Notification of Poster Acceptance
