Call for Papers

The 37th International Conference on Computer Animation and Social Agents (CASA 2024) will be held on June 5-7, 2024, in Wuhan, China. The conference is organized by the Wuhan Textile University (WTU), Shanghai Jiao Tong University (SJTU), State Key Laboratory of Computer Science, Institute of Software, Chinese Academy of Sciences and State Key Laboratory of Multimodal Artificial Intelligence Systems/National Laboratory of Pattern Recognition, Institute of Automation, Chinese Academy of Sciences. It is supported by the Computer Graphics Society (CGS). CASA is the oldest international conference in computer animation and social agents in the world. It was founded in Geneva in 1988 under the name of Computer Animation (CA) by the Computer Graphics Society (CGS). In the past few years, CASA was held in Europe (Belgium, Netherlands, France, Switzerland, UK, etc.), Asia (Korea, China, Singapore) and the United States. CASA 2024 will provide a great opportunity to interact with leading experts, share your own work, and educate yourself through exposure to the research of your peers from around the world.

    PAPER SUBMISSION

    We invite submissions of research full papers, short papers, and posters on a broad range of topics, including but not limited to Computer Animation, Embodied Agents, Social Agents, Virtual and Augmented Reality, and Visualization (see below for a detailed list).

    Submitted papers will be reviewed by the program committee and papers of high quality will be referred for publication in the Computer Animation and Virtual Worlds (CAVW) journal published by Wiley, Virtual Reality & Intelligent Hardware(VRIH), Visual Computing for Industry, Biomedicine, and Art(VCIBA), Journal of Shanghai Jiao Tong University. The papers accepted as is or with minor revision will be in a special issue. Those with major revision will be given a chance to resubmit and reviewed again by the conference PC for acceptance in a subsequent issue of CAVW. The rest will be either rejected or recommended for publication in conference proceeding. Authors will have to register and present the papers at the conference.

    More details in terms of submission can be found in Paper Submission.
