Introduction
IGA&Mesh is an international symposium dedicated to promoting the research in the fields of isogemetric analysis and mesh generation. It covers theoretic and algorithmic issues arising in IGA and mesh generation, the focus is on the design and analysis of algorithms, models of computation, and experimental analysis.
Theme
Isogeometric analysis (IGA) is a recently developed computational approach, which has great potential to integrate finite element analysis (FEA) into conventional NURBS-based CAD design tools. Comparing to the conventional Finite Element Method, IGA coherently fuses both CAD and CAE fields and has demonstrates many merits: it is unnecessary to convert Spline models to meshes and vice versa, subdivision becomes much simpler without loss of geometric accuracy, it is more convenient to solve problems with high order continuity and so on. IGA has been broadly applied for analysing solid and fluid mechanics, electric-magnetic fields design and crack propagation. The IGA approach requires the advancements of structured hexahedral meshing techniques, in order to construct solid Splines, namely the so called holy-grid problem. Furthermore, the IGA method needs the developments of novel Spline theories and schemes. All these novel developments will advance the CAGD, CAE fields, and benefit Computer Graphics, Digital Geometry, Computational Geometry and Machine vision fields.
Main Topics
The symposium covers a range of topics on the fundamental theories, numerical schemes, algorithmic design and practical applications of Isogeometric Analysis, advanced Mesh Generation in the context of Computer-Aided Geometric Design, Digital Geometric Processing, Computational Geometry, Computer Aided Engineering, Computational Mechanics and related research fields. The topics range from discrete geometric theories, mesh generation algorithms, to real applications in manufacture industry. The list of suggested topics includes but is not limited to:
- Isogeometric Analysis
- Volumetric Spline Fitting
- Surface Spline Fitting
- Extraordinary Point Analysis
- Quad-Mesh Generation
- Hex-Mesh Generation
- Unstructured Mesh Generation
- Topological Optimization
- Geometry processing applications
- Surface parameterization
- Shape modelling applications
- Shape matching and comparison
- Dynamic Surface Tracking
- Shape analysis and retrieval
- Applications to Computer Graphics
- Applications to Computational Geometry
- Application to Computer Vision
- Applications to Medicine (e.g., brain and neuro-image analysis)
Submission Guidelines
Papers are to be submitted electronically using the EasyChair server. Original research papers must contain results that have not previously appeared and have not been concurrently submitted to a journal or conference with published proceedings. Each paper should select one of the fields (IGA & Meshing) for submission. Authors need to ensure that for each accepted paper at least one author will register and attend the symposium.
Extended Abstracts should be submitted electronically through the EasyChair system. Both original research papers and excellent works published in top journals are welcomed. For each accepted extended abstract, at least one author is required to register and attend the symposium. Among all the papers presented in the symposium, some will be selected and invited for submission to special issues of some prestigious journal (Graphical Models). These papers must contain novel results that have been neither reported before nor concurrently submitted to other journal or conference with proceedings.
Submissions are limited to four (4) single-column pages in the elsarticle latex format. This includes figures, but excludes references and an optional appendix (to be read at the program committee's discretion).
Awards
The best paper from each field will be given a Best Paper Award.
