Draft:International Meshing Roundtable

The International Meshing Roundtable (IMR) is an academic conference in mesh generation It is a conference of, for, and by mesh generation researchers and software developers. Its topics are algorithms and mathematics for meshing methods. This is in contrast to a trade show focussed on product descriptions. Conference sessions include contributed papers (refereed publications with talks), research notes (abstracts and talks), and posters; invited plenary speakers, short courses, and panels. Papers are subject to double-blind peer review and published by the Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics, SIAM. Each year the authors of the best papers are invited to submit extended versions to a special journal issue, traditionally to the Elsevier journal Computer-Aided Design, with the organizing committee's paper chairs as guest editors[1]. It has a [steering committee] and an annual organizing committee.

Founded in 1992, for 29 years it was an independent conference organized and sponsored by Sandia National Laboratories. It was founded and led by Ted Blacker, who retired and received the Lifetime Achievement Award in 2018. Its organizing committee consisted of six people, two from each of industry, academia, and research labs.

Since 2022, the IMR is officially the "SIAM International Meshing Roundtable Workshop." It is structured as an annual SIAM workshop, in conjunction with the bi-annual conferences SIAM PP and SIAM CSE; see SIAM conferences.
