7th - 9th September 2009
Computer-based methods for the capture, construction, representation, fitting, and manipulation of complicated surfaces have led to a wide interest in, and need for, surface mathematics. Many applications require the use of surface descriptions, especially in such fields as computer aided design and manufacturing, computer graphics and computer vision. The description of surfaces is also of interest in geographic information systems, multimedia, and many other areas of science and medicine. This diversity and the wide range of applicability of the subject have already enabled the IMA to hold twelve very successful international conferences in the Mathematics of Surfaces series. The 13th such conference has now been scheduled. Several international authorities will be presenting invited papers, and contributed papers are now called for. These will be refereed by an international programme committee.
Three types of papers are sought:
We are delighted to have as Keynote Speaker the renowned Field's Medallist:
| Shing-Tung Yau | Harvard University, USA |
We also have a strong line-up of other Invited Speakers:
| Freddy Bruckstein | Technion, Israel |
| Massimo Fornasier | Johann Radon Institute for Computational and Applied Mathematics, Austria |
| Tom Funkhauser | Princeton University, USA |
| Bert Jüttler | Johannes Kepler University, Austria |
| Konrad Polthier | Free University of Berlin, Germany |
| Thomas Vetter | University of Basel, Switzerland |
Contributed papers are invited in any of the categories outlined above. Full papers will be considered and should be sent by email to Prof. Ralph Martin, Cardiff University: ralph@cs.cf.ac.uk by the end of 23rd January 2009.
Authors must prepare and submit their papers using LaTeX2e as the proceedings will be produced directly from authors' LaTeX sources. Appropriate guidance on preparation of the paper can be found at http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html, including the necessary style files and an example paper.
The proceedings will be published by Springer Verlag in the Lecture Notes in Computer Science series on behalf of the IMA, and will be available at the conference.
Authors will be notified of acceptance by 27th March 2009, and revised papers will be due by the end of 23rd April 2009. Papers received after this date or not in the correct LaTeX2e form will not be included in the proceedings.
Suggestions for poster sessions and software demonstrations are also welcomed; the same date applies.

Conference Location:
The meeting will be held in the King's Manor in the historic centre of York. The manor is one of York's most important and attractive buildings. The manor was originally the Abbots House for St Mary's Abbey and dates back to 1291. Following the Dissolution of the monasteries, it was retained by the Crown and allocated to the Council of the North. It became the official residence of the President of the Council in 1561 and was gradually enlarged and extended during the reign of Elizabeth I. Henry VIII and Catherine Howard stayed in the manor, and it was used as a residence by the Stuarts on their journeys between London and Edinburgh.
The workshop will be held in the Huntingdon Room which contains an impressive plaster frieze with the arms of Henry Hastings, Earl of Huntingdon.The decorative doorway at the main entrance is Jacobean and depicts the Royal Arms.
Accommodation will be available in the modern ensuite bedrooms in the University of York.
