SIAM IMR25: Call for Papers

The SIAM International Meshing Roundtable Workshop 2025 solicits full papers for the upcoming conference. SIAM IMR25 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. The IMR also solicits 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.

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.
• 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.

Submitting a paper is a two-step process. First, authors must initiate a submission on OpenConf (see the link below) by adding the title, author information, topic areas and abstract. Authors will then receive an email with the submission ID and can submit their submission files to OpenConf using this submission ID and password.

To submit a paper, authors must upload a .zip file to OpenConf. At the very least, this .zip file must contain the anonymous PDF version of the paper (see the template for details). Authors are permitted (but not required) to include their LaTeX source and any supplementary materials with this initial submission.

OpenConf submission website: https://www.openconf.org/imr2025/track1/openconf.php

Presentation

Each accepted paper will be given 20 minutes for presentation followed by 5 minutes for Q&A.

There is no limit to the number of papers and research notes an author can submit. However, at least one of the authors must register for the IMR and present. Each registrant may give at most one presentation (paper or research note). All authors and presenters are encouraged to also submit posters and meshing contest entries.

Formatting Requirements

Full papers are limited to 12 pages in length (US letter size), including figures, tables, and appendices. Only references do not count towards the 12 page limit, and may extend the paper to more pages. Authors are welcome to submit supplementary material to the actual paper, however the paper must be complete without it. An author of each accepted paper will be required to attend and present at the conference.

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 formatting guidelines. Final submissions for accepted papers must be received by February 14, 2025.

Call for Reviewers

The organizing committee of the SIAM IMR25 is looking for reviewers. If you are interested in reviewing one or more papers for the upcoming IMR, please email the Papers Chairs.
