Shape Modeling International (SMI), also known as International Conference on Shape Modeling and Applications is 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. Initiated in 1997 by Tosyiasu L. Kunii and Bianca Falcidieno, the symposium became an annual event in 2001 after its merge with the Eurographics / ACM SIGGRAPH Workshop on Implicit Surfaces. The venue of the symposium rotates in turn among Asia, Europe and America. Proceedings until the year 2010 are available at DPLP, computer.org, and IEEE Explore. Since 2009, proceedings of SMI are published by Elsevier as a special issue of the Computers & Graphics journal. The detailed by-laws of Shape Modeling International organization can be found here. The Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between Computers & Graphics and SMI is available here.

In honor of Tosiyasu Kunii (1938-2020), the Distinguished Researcher Award was established in 2021 to recognize shape modeling researchers with distinguished careers. 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.

The Young Investigator Award was established in 2021 to recognize young researchers who made significant
contributions to shape modeling. 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 the Shape Modeling
Conference.

In honor of Alexander Pasko (1960-2022), the Service Award was established in 2023 to recognize people who made significant contributions to the organization of SMI conferences. The recipients of the award will be selected by the SMI Awards Committee, based on nominations from the Shape Modeling community. The nominations 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 service contributions of the candidate into SMI. 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 the Shape Modeling Conference.
