Montreal, Canada, May 19-21, 1993

Co-sponsored by ACM/SIGGRAPH
In cooperation with the IEEE Computer Society


This symposium provides an international forum for the
exchange of recent research and practical results in all
areas and applications of solid modeling. The first symposium
in this series, held in June 1991, in Austin, Texas, brought
together the the most prominent researchers, key
practitioners, and numerous students in this rapidly growing
field. Emphasis is on the impact of solid modeling in design
and manufacturing, including such topics as

    * Geometric and topological domain
    * Representation conversion
    * Blends, sweeps, offsets
    * Algorithmic complexity
    * Geometric reasoning
    * Interference/clearance analysis
    * Hardware support
    * User interaction techniques
    * Feature-based modeling
    * Constraint-based design
    * Parametric design
    * Assembly modeling
    * Product modeling
    * Product data exchange
    * Manufacturing planning
    * Engineering analysis


Papers should be at most 6000 words in length, and should
present previously unpublished original results. Please
submit abstracts and papers to Mary Johnson at the address
listed below. The schedule for submissions is as follows:

September 1, 1992: Abstract due (150-300 words)
October 15, 1992:  Full papers due (6 copies)
January 7, 1993:   Notice of acceptance & reviewers' comments
February 7, 1993:  Final camera-ready papers due
