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 Computers & 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, at The Dragon Hotel Hangzhou, in Hangzhou, Zhejiang, P.R. China.
