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.

Solid and Physical Modeling (SPM)

Call for Papers

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

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 2017 Pierre Bézier Prize for contributions to solid, shape, and physical modeling during the conference.

Accepted full-length papers will be published in a special issue of the Journal of Computer-Aided Design (Elsevier) after a rigorous double-blind review process.

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

  • Physically-based modeling and simulation
  • Product data exchange, standards, and interoperability
  • Reverse engineering/reconstruction of surfaces/solids
  • Robustness and validity of geometric computations
  • Shape modeling, synthesis, and analysis


  Paper Format

Submission should be formatted according to the style guidelines for Computer-Aided Design (Elsevier) and should not exceed 12 pages, including figure 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 Computer-Aided Design (Elsevier). The file must be submitted in PDF format for the first round of submission.

Please refer to the Computer-Aided Design Guide for Authors for format details and LaTeX instructions/template.

Note: Authors who choose to use LaTeX (strongly recommended) should format their papers in accordance with the 'elsarticle' instructions. The 'elsarticle' class has several options associated with it. Authors should utilize the "[5p,twocolumn]" option.

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


  Submission

Abstracts: An abstract should be submitted to the EasyChair System before Saturday, February 18 at 23:59 UTC/GMT. The abstract should contain the title and one paragraph explaining the main idea of the paper. It will help the paper chairs assign the reviewers.

Full Papers: All papers (suggested length 10-12 pages, maximum 12 pages) should be submitted to the EasyChair System before Friday, February 24th March 3rd at 23:59 UTC/GMT.

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 Computer-Aided Design (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

SPM-2017 will have a joint poster session with SMI-2017 and will accept proposals for posters in the form of abstracts. An abstract should be submitted to the EasyChair System 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
