SIAM Conference on Computational Geometric Design (GD19)

About the Conference

Sponsored by the SIAM Activity Group on Geometric Design (SIAG/GD).

SIAM GD 2019 will be held as part of the International Geometry Summit (IGS), with three co-located events: Shape Modeling International (SMI) 2019, Geometric Modeling and Processing (GMP) 2019, and Solid and Physical Modeling (SPM) 2019.

SIAM’s conference on computational geometric design is motivated by the overlapping industrial and academic interest in geometry. Encouragement of industrial, government and academic collaboration is a major objective of this conference. This conference provides an opportunity for industrial and government engineers and scientists to communicate their needs and for academic researchers to exhibit their current research.
