Conference proceedings (long and short papers) 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.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">SMI 2019 will be co-located with the Symposium on Solid and Physical Modeling (SPM 2019), the SIAM Conference on Computational Geometric Design (SIAM/GD 2019), the International Conference on Geometric Modelling and Processing (GMP2019), as part of the Geometry Summit 2019.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">The Fabrication and Sculpting Event (FASE 2019) will be organized in co-location with SMI 2019. FASE2019 will present original research at the intersection of theory and practice in shape modeling, fabrication and sculpting. SMI2019 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.
