The International Meshing Roundtable (IMR) is an annual academic conference focused on mesh generation and related computational geometry and numerical simulation topics. Its program includes peer-reviewed papers, research notes, posters, invited talks, and tutorials. Since 2022, it has been organized as the SIAM International Meshing Roundtable Workshop under the Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics (SIAM), colocated with either the SIAM Conference on Parallel Processing for Scientific Computing or the SIAM Conference on Computational Science and Engineering.[1]

History

[edit]

The first International Meshing Roundtable was held in 1992 at Northwestern University as a small meeting of about 30 participants. Formal proceedings were introduced in 1994. Proceedings for the 1994 meeting were published in 1996 as a special issue of the journal Engineering with Computers.[2]

Sandia National Laboratories organized and sponsored the conference from 1992 through 2021. In 2022 the event moved under the Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics (SIAM) and was restructured as a SIAM workshop.

The conference was not held in 2020 because of the COVID-19 pandemic and was conducted virtually in 2021 and 2022. It returned to an in-person format beginning in 2023.

Format

[edit]

The program usually includes peer-reviewed papers, extended abstracts, posters, plenary talks, tutorials, and panel discussions. Attendance is generally in the range of 100–200 participants. The conference has no fixed location and is held in person.

Proceedings

[edit]

Proceedings have been published through several different outlets, including Sandia technical reports, Springer, Elsevier's Procedia Engineering, Zenodo, Lecture Notes in Computational Science and Engineering, and SIAM. [3] Selected papers have been invited to submit extended versions for special issues in the journals Computer-Aided Design or Engineering with Computers.[4][5]

Recognition and awards

[edit]

The International Meshing Roundtable has been classified by international conference evaluation systems.[6][7] In descriptions of federally funded research and training activities, the International Meshing Roundtable has been described as a premier conference venue in the field of mesh generation.[8] Reference books and surveys on mesh generation cite the International Meshing Roundtable among the established venues in the field.[9][10]

The IMR presents awards for best papers, student papers,[11] and posters. The winning poster of the "meshing maestro" contest is featured on the next year's t-shirt. Starting in 2011, the conference names an annual IMR Fellow, which is distinct from being a SIAM Fellow. IMR founder Ted Blacker received a Lifetime Achievement Award upon his retirement from Sandia National Laboratories in 2018. Suzanne Shontz became the first woman to receive the IMR Fellow Award in 2021.[12] Travel grants for students to attend the conference have been awarded through NSF programs,[8][13] and through the conference using sponsor funding.[14]
