Abstract

The Symposium on Solid and Physical Modeling and Applications is an annual international forum for the exchange of recent research results and applications of spatial modeling and computations in design, analysis and manufacturing, as well as in emerging biomedical, geophysical and other areas. Previous symposia in this series were held in Austin, Texas, 1991; Montreal, Canada, 1993; Salt Lake City, Utah, 1995; Atlanta, Georgia, 1997; Ann Arbor, Michigan in 1999 and 2001; Saarbrucken, Germany, 2002; Seattle, Washington, 2003; Genova, Italy, 2004, Cambridge, Massachusetts, 2005; Cardiff, Wales, United Kingdom, 2006; and Beijing, China, 2007. For additional information, please visit www.solidmodeling.org, the home page of The Solid Modeling Association that oversees this symposium series. The SPM symposium series started initially with the name ACM Symposium on Solid Modeling and Applications. To emphasize the fact that solid modeling entails not only handling their geometric shapes, but also their physical properties, behaviors and simulations, the name of the symposium was expanded to The Symposium on Solid and Physical Modeling and Applications (abbreviated as SPM) in 2005. SPM'08 was held at Suny, Stony Brook from June 2 to June 4, as part of Stony Brook Modeling Week that also featured international joint convention on shapes and solids. SPM'08 was held as a single track conference, which also included two mini-symposia. In response to SPM'08 call for papers, 79 technical papers were submitted and reviewed by an international program committee with 96 expert reviewers from around the world. At least three external reviewers and members of the program committee reviewed and discussed each submission. A total of 25 refereed papers have been selected for plenary presentation and publication in the proceedings as full papers. Moreover, a total of 18 refereed papers have been selected for poster presentation and publication in the proceedings as short papers. The symposium program also includes three invited presentations, by Helmut Pottmann (Vienna University of Technology), Hugues Hoppe (Microsoft Research) and Kokichi Sugihara (University of Tokyo), all leading researchers in their fields.
