Call for Papers – CASA 2018 in Beijing, China
The 31th International Conference on Computer Animation and Social Agents (CASA 2018) will be held on May 21-23, 2018 in Beijing, China.
The conference is organized by State Key Laboratory of Computer Science (SKLCS), Institute of Software, Chinese Academy of Sciences,
in cooperation with ACM-SIGGRAPH, under guidance of the Computer Graphics Society (CGS).
CASA was founded in 1988 in Geneva, Switzerland, and it is the oldest international conference in computer animation and social agents
in the world. In the last ten years, CASA was held in Korea (2008), Netherlands (2009), France (2010), China (2011), Singapore (2012),
Turkey (2013), United States (2014), Singapore (2015), Switzerland (2016) and Korea (2017).
