The Symposium on Solid and Physical Modeling (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 serves also 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
    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 The submitted papers must be written in English and present original, previously unpublished results that are not simultaneously submitted elsewhere. The papers should be submitted through the Elsevier System.
