Publication Conference proceedings will be published by the IPM (Persian papers) and by Springer-Verlag (English papers) as a volume of the LNCS (to be confirmed). Special issues of some scholarly journals, including CSI Computer Journal, Computers and Electrical Engineering (to be confirmed), International Journal of Computers and their Applications (to be Confirmed), will be dedicated (negotiation is being done) to publish selected high-quality papers from the conference. The steering committee, based on program committee recommendations and paper presentation at the conference, will select the papers. Corresponding authors will later be asked to submit extended versions of their papers for consideration for publication in these special issues. Best Paper Award The best paper published in the conference proceedings and presented at the conference will be selected in two categories: best student-paper and best regular-paper. The steering committee, based on program committee recommendations and paper presentation feedback at the conference, will select the best papers. Authors of best papers will be awarded in the closing ceremony.

This software produces ``smooth point clouds'' from a noisy one which can be fed to a standard reconstruction software.The software is based on a new definition of MLS surfaces (known in graphics) as presented in the following paper. T. K. Dey and J. Sun. An adaptive MLS surface for reconstruction with guarantees. Proc. Eurographics Symposium on Geometry Processing 2005), 43--52. We are also releasing the NormFet software that can estimate the normals and feature sizes of a surface from its possibly noisy point sample. The output of this software can be fed as an input to AMLS which requires input point clouds be equipped with normals and feature sizes. NormFet is based on a recent result presented in the following paper. T. K. Dey and J. Sun. Normal and feature estimations from noisy point clouds. Technical-report OSU-CISRC-7/50-TR50, July, 2005. The software can be downloaded from: AMLS: http://www.cse.ohio-state.edu/~tamaldey/amls.html NormFet: http://www.cse.ohio-state.edu/~tamaldey/normfet.html ---Tamal K.
