CALL FOR PAPERS
Solid and Physical Modeling (SPM 2020)


Solid and Physical Modeling (SPM) 2020 will be located in Strasbourg, France in June 2 – 4, 2020.


SPM is an international conference series organised annually with the support of the Solid Modeling Association (SMA). The conference aims at 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 conference also serves as a ceremony for awarding the 2020 Pierre Bézier Prize for contributions to solid, shape, and physical modeling.


Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
- 3D fabrication/printing/manufacturing technologies
- Anisotropic/heterogeneous/composite materials
- Applied algebraic and differential geometry
- Applied computational geometry and topology
- Conceptual, collaborative, and distributed design
- Computational fabrication
- Curve, surface, and manifold modeling
- Dimensioning and tolerancing
- Feature modeling, recognition, and understanding
- Geometric algorithms
- Geometric and topological representations
- Geometric constraint solving and parametric modeling
- Geometric interpolation and smoothing
- Geometry generation and processing
- Geometry compression and transmission
- Isogeometric analysis
- Meshing and mesh optimization
- Multi-resolution modeling
- Multi-scale modeling
- Numerical analysis of geometric algorithms
- 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 Submissions: Accepted full-length papers will be published in Computer-Aided Design (Elsevier) after a rigorous two-stage double-blind review process. The submitted papers must be written in English and present original, previously unpublished results that are not simultaneously submitted elsewhere. Submission guidelines can be found in the Conference Homepage: https://spm2020.sciencesconf.org
