ACM Solid and Physical Modeling Symposium 2008 (SPM'08) was held on June 2-4, 2008,  in Stony Brook University, Stony Brook, New York, USA. ACM SPM'08 is co-sponsored by ACM and IEEE (pending), and in cooperation with SIAM.

This highly successful conference series have been a primary venue for disseminating research results and exchanging new ideas in geometric and solid modeling, physical modeling, geometric design, analysis, simulation and processing, shape computing and visualization, and various applications.

SPM'08 was immediately followed by the International Conference on Shape Modeling and Applications 2008 (SMI'08), in Stony Brook University, Stony Brook, New York, USA, on June 4-6, 2008.  Both SPM'08 and SMI'08 events were co-located in Stony Brook, and are part of the 2008 Stony Brook Modeling Week that features International Joint Convention on Shapes and Solids (ICSS'08). Stony Brook Modeling Week was hosted by the Center for Visual Computing (CVC), the Computer Science Department of Stony Brook University and was chaired by Professor Hong Qin.
