CASA 2021 Call for Papers

Technical Paper extended Deadline -March 6,  2021

The 34th International Conference on Computer Animation and Social Agents (CASA 2021) will be held virtually (online) July 15-17, 2021, from Ottawa, Canada. The conference is organized (tentatively in cooperation with ACM SIGGRAPH), supported by the Computer Graphics Society (CGS). 

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

Papers should be submitted by the 6th of March (27th of February) 2021. The best papers will be published in the special issue of Wiley’s Computer Animation and Virtual Worlds (CAVW). The remaining accepted papers will be published in conference proceedings (tentatively by Springer). 

All submissions will be reviewed via a double-blind review process. Authors must register for the conference for publications to be accepted.
