CASA 2025    Call for Papers (Hybrid conference)

https://casa2025.sciencesconf.org/

The 38th International Conference on Computer Animation and Social Agents (CASA 2025) will be held on June 4-6, 2025, in Strasbourg, France. The conference is organized by the University of Strasbourg and the ICube laboratory. Founded in Geneva in 1988 under the name of Computer Animation (CA) by the Computer Graphics Society (CGS), CASA is the oldest international conference in computer animation and social agents in the world.

In the past few years, CASA has been held in Europe, Asia, North America, and Australia. CASA 2025 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.

This year, the conference will be in HYBRID format. Authors will have the option to present their paper either in person or online.

IMPORTANT DATES

* Submission deadline: March 8, 2025

* Preliminary Notification to Authors: April 15, 2025

* Revised papers submission deadline for CAVW journal: May 5, 2025

* Final Notification of CAVW Journal: May 15, 2025

* Author Registration: May 18 (final deadline)

PAPER SUBMISSION

We invite submissions of research papers 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). This year, we particularly welcome papers in the following domains: AI image generation, AI video generation, AI music generation, AI storytelling, and AI applications in VR.

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, Impact Factor: 0.9) journal published by Wiley. The papers accepted as is or with minor revisions will be in a special issue. Those requiring 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 proceedings. Authors will have to register and present the papers at the conference either onsite or online.
