DEAR COLLEAGUES:

The Shape Modeling International Conference (SMI) and the ACM Symposium on
Solid Modeling and Applications (SM) are two of the most important annual
events that deal with the theoretical and algorithmic foundations for
modeling and visualizing real or virtual shapes in a variety of
manufacturing, engineering, biomedical scientific or entertainment
applications. To stimulate the interaction between these two communities,
the two events have been scheduled one after the other in 2004, as part of
the Convention on Shapes and Solids (SMI&SM04) which will be held in Genova,
Italy.

The symposium will be followed by the International School on Computational
Methods for Shape Modeling and Analysis. 
It is meant for PhD, PostDoc or researchers with either a computer science,
informatics or mathematics background, and prior knowledge of geometric
modeling techniques. It will focus on different aspects of shape modeling,
processing and analysis, and the final programme will include training on the
most up-to-date topics of the field.

Convention and school program/schedules can be found at:

LOCATION OF THE CONVENTION:

The Convention will be located in the beautiful Palazzo Ducale, the main
ancient seat of power of the Republic of Genova and the Doge's residence.
The Sala del Maggior Consiglio will provide a wonderful background for the
SMI&SM04 events.
The SMI&SM04 reception will be organized in the Acquarium of Genova, and
will include a guided tour of the Acquarium and a dinner in the Dolphin and
Shark Halls.
