Scope

One of the main goals of computer graphics and computer vision is to discover the essential rules of representing and generating shapes. Reasoning about the shape is a common way of describing and representing real and abstract objects in computer science, engineering, mathematics, biology, physics, chemistry, medicine and even in daily life. This conference is aimed at providing an opportunity to exchange results obtained in diverse advanced theories and techniques devised for handling the shape of objects.

The scope of the conference includes, but is not limited to, topics such as
