Call for Papers |
The application of geometry to current problems of design, manufacturing, and the representation of physical phenomena continues to grow. The Sixth SIAM Conference on Geometric Design will address the most important recent advances in curve and surface design, geometrical algorithms, solid modelling, and applications in the traditional fields of automobile and aircraft manufacturing, and general product design. Contributions to more modern fields including scientific visualization, medical imaging, computer vision, robotics, and digital movie making will also be discussed. |

The conference will bring together computer scientists, engineers, mathematicians, and researchers and scientists from academia, government, and industry, as well as anyone interested in applying computational and mathematical methods to problems of geometric design or in any of the many applications.

Deadline ExtensionDue to several requests that we have received, the Organizing Committee is pleased to inform you that the deadline for submissions --- a 75-word abstract for a Standard Lecture Session or Poster Session; a 75-word abstract plus one-page extended abstract for a Focus Session has been extended to APRIL 15, 1999. Invited PresentationsSIAM and the Conference Organizing Committee are proud to announce that the following mathematicians and scientists have accepted their invitations to speak at the conference.
MinisymposiaA minisymposium is a two-hour session consisting of four related talks on a well-focused topic consistent with the conference themes. A number of minisymposia are being invited by the Organizing Committee to supplement the conference themes. A partial list of minisymposia and their organizers follows:
How to ContributeMinisymposiumThe Organizing Committee invites proposals for minisymposia in areas related to the conference themes. A minisymposium consists of four related talks of 30 minutes each (25 minutes for presentation plus 5 minutes for questions and answers). Prospective minisymposium organizers are asked to submit a proposal consisting of a title, a description (not exceeding 100 words) and a list of speakers and titles of their presentations. Each minisymposium speaker should submit a 75-word abstract in LaTeX format to [email protected]. To obtain a minisymposium proposal form, please complete and return the reply form, or e-mail your request to [email protected]. The form is also available on the World Wide Web at www.siam.org/meetings/miniform.htm. Presentations in Standard Lecture, Poster, or Focus Session FormatContributions in traditional lecture, poster, or focus session format are invited in all areas of geometric design consistent with the conference themes.
Abstract submissions in either of the above-mentioned formats must include a title, author(s) names and affiliations, postal and e-mail addresses, and telephone and fax numbers. For co-authored papers, the submitting author should identify the presenter. Contributors should indicate which format they prefer. The Organizing Committee reserves the right to limit the number of presentations an individual speaker may present in contributed sessions or minisymposia. Electronic SubmissionAbstract submissions must be sent electronically to [email protected] using the LaTeX macros available at www.siam.org/tex/confs/conftex.htm. If you do not have access to the Web, e-mail your request to [email protected]. The LaTeX macro will be sent to you via e-mail. About AlbuquerqueStep into 300 years of history and culture ... take a walk through history around Albuquerque's Old Town Plaza, which has been the focal point of community life since 1706.
