Shape Modeling International (SMI 2025) provides an international forum for the dissemination of new mathematical theories and computational techniques for modeling, simulating and processing digital representations of shapes and their properties to a community of researchers, developers, students, and practitioners across a wide range of fields. Conference proceedings will be published in a Special Issue of Computer & Graphics Journal, Elsevier. Papers presenting original research are being sought in all areas of shape modeling and its applications.
SMI also participates in the Replicability Stamp Initiative, an additional recognition for authors who are willing to go one step further, and in addition to publishing the paper, provide a complete open-source implementation. The Replicability Stamp is a prerequisite for SMI best paper nomination. More information on topics, submission guidelines, and important dates are given below.
SMI 2025 will be co-located with Solid and Physical Modeling (SPM 2025). The joint conference will take place from October 29 to November 2, 2025, in Hangzhou, Zhejiang, P.R. China.

Submissions should be anonymous, via easychair, previously unpublished, original results that are not simultaneously submitted elsewhere.
Submissions should be formatted according to the style guidelines for the Computers &Graphics Journal and should not exceed 12 pages, including figures and references. We strongly recommend using the LaTeX template to format your paper. We also accept papers formatted by MS Word according to the style guidelines for Computers & Graphics. The file must be exported to a pdf file for the first round of submission. For format details, please refer to Computers & Graphics Guide for Authors. The SMI 2025 conference will use a double-blind review process.
Any accepted paper is required to have at least one registered author to attend and present the paper at the conference.Shape Modeling International Awards Committee is seeking proposals to nominate the shape modeling researchers with distinguished careers for the Tosiyasu L. Kuni Distinguished Researcher Award. The recipients of the award will be selected by the SMI Awards Committee, based on proposals from the research community in Shape Modeling. The proposals can simply be in a formal letter format. Self-nominations will also be considered. The nomination letters should provide a clear description of the substantial contributions of the candidate into the field of shape modeling. Nomination proposals can be accepted by the SMI awards committee at any time. The Awards are presented at the Shape Modeling Conference and the award recipients are invited to give a keynote speech at Shape Modeling Conference. Please send your nominations to the chair of award committee: Bianca Falcidieno.
