SIAM IMR24: Call for Papers

The SIAM International Meshing Roundtable Workshop 2024 solicits full papers for the upcoming conference. SIAM IMR24 will utilize a two-phased paper review process. Papers may either be accepted with or without revisions. For most cases where “accepted with revision” has been indicated by the first review, specific modifications will be requested prior to a final review and acceptance.

This call solicits technical papers that present original results. There will be future calls for short research notes that describe exploratory research and preliminary results, technical posters, and meshing contest submissions.

Please follow formatting and submitting instructions for the appropriate submission type. Please read the instructions in their entirety.

Important Dates

Note that deadlines are End of Day, Anywhere on Earth.

  • Computer graphics and scientific visualization
  • Other novel methodology and applications, such as isogeometric analysis

Submission

• For accepted papers, at least one author must register for the IMR. Participants may be an author of multiple papers.
• Each accepted paper must be presented at the IMR. Each IMR registrant will be limited to giving one paper presentation.
• The conference is currently planned to be held in person. Submitters should make themselves aware of the current travel restrictions/requirements.
• Full papers must have original and significant contributions in order to be accepted. All papers will be rigorously peer-reviewed by reviewers selected by the program committee.
• Final full papers must be submitted using the SIAM two-column template. Final papers will not be accepted in any other format.
• A completed “authorization to publish” or copyright agreement form will be required after acceptance of your paper. Details will be sent to authors of accepted papers.
• Submit through OpenConf.

Formatting Requirements

Full papers are limited to 12 pages in length (US letter size), including figures, tables, and appendices. Authors are welcome to submit supplementary material to the actual paper, however the paper must be complete without it. Only references do not count towards the 12 page limit, and may extend the paper to more pages. Acceptable supplementary material includes:

• Lengthy or detailed experimental results, beyond summaries in the paper itself
• Code or pseudocode
• Datasets: publicly sharing input models that others can try their algorithms on is especially welcome
• Images
• Animations
• Proofs

Authors are encouraged to make the supplementary material publicly available after acceptance.

Authors must use the SIAM two-column template for all submissions, while strictly following the guidelines provided above for each submission type.

Review Process

The review process this year will be double blind. Please follow these guidelines:

1. Do not include author names or affiliations anywhere in the manuscript, or in any supplementary material (or in any file names).
2. Do not include any author names in the Acknowledgments section in the manuscript on submission (though please do include information about funding). Author names can be added to the Acknowledgments section after completion of the peer-review process.
3. Do not include work in the reference list that has not yet been accepted for publication.
4. When referring to your own work within the paper, avoid using terminology that might reveal your identity, e.g., avoid phrases such as “we have previously shown [citation]”.

Authors requiring travel authorization may contact us ahead of time for a preliminary decision. One will be provided when reviewer and advocate comments are received.

Final Camera-Ready Submission

Only PDF files are accepted for the final camera-ready submission and must conform strictly to the identified format guidelines. Final submissions for accepted papers must be received by February 16, 2024.

Call for Reviewers

Recall that the organizing committee of the SIAM IMR24 is looking for reviewers. Details to sign up as a reviewer will be made available soon.
