SMI 2013 - Shape Modeling International 2013 (SMI'13)

The Shape Modeling International (SMI) conference provides an international forum for the dissemination of new mathematical theories and computational techniques for modeling, simulating and processing digital representations of shapes. Its target audience is the community of researchers, developers, students, and practitioners addressing these topics across a wide range of fields.
Shape Modeling International 2013 (SMI'13) will be held at the National Centre for Computer Animation, Bournemouth University, Poole, UK from 10 July 2013 to 12 July 2013.
The conference will last for three days and will consist of presentations of technical and practical papers, as well as courses and tutorials. It will also include an Art Exhibition and an Animation Theatre Show. Details on the different conference activities are provided below.
