[General] SCA 2024 - Deadline extension

Due to multiple requests, we have decided to extend the deadline for papers & posters submissions to SCA 2024. New submission deadline (Papers & Posters): April 29, 2024 (23:59 UTC) Conference website: https://computeranimation.org Call for papers: The 23rd annual Symposium on Computer Animation (SCA) will take place in Montréal, Canada, from August 21 to August 23, 2024. SCA is the premier forum for innovations in the software and technology of computer animation. It unites researchers and practitioners working on all aspects of time-based phenomena. Our focused, intimate gathering, with a single track program and emphasis on community interaction, makes SCA the best venue to exchange research results, get inspired, and set up collaborations. We invite submission of original, high-quality papers and posters on computer animation, broadly defined as computation dealing with time-varying phenomena. Accepted full papers will be published in the journal Computer Graphics Forum, a leading journal for in-depth technical articles on computer graphics. Posters will be published in the conference proceedings indexed by ACM and Eurographics. Best Paper Awards will be given to excellent submissions that push the leading edge. The conference topics include: - 2D, 3D, and N-D animation systems - Autonomous agents - Clothing animation and simulation - Computational design of animated systems - Expressive motion / communication - Generative and morphable models - 3D and 4D motion modeling - Learned character control - Facial animation - Feature learning of motions, faces, body shapes and hand gestures - Foundation models for animation - Group and crowd behavior - Interactive computer graphics - Intuitive interfaces for creating and editing animations - Mathematical foundations of animation - Methods of control and artistic direction of simulations - Machine learning techniques for animation - Multimodal techniques for animation - Modeling and simulation of natural phenomena - Nature in motion (natural phenomena, plants, clouds, etc.) - New time-based art forms on the computer - Novel time-varying phenomena - Perceptual metrics of animation - Physical realism / measuring the real world for animation - Physical simulation - Fluid animation and simulation - Planning / learning / optimization for animation - Real-time and interactive methods - Camera control methods for computer animation - Sound and speech for animation - ... as well as related problems in robotics game development, human-computer interaction, simulation visualization, computer vision and others. We would like to emphasize that SCA welcomes all kinds of contributions that advance the field of computer animation. This includes new and improved algorithms but also: - New datasets, or carefully and thoughtfully designed (collections of) datasets based on previously available data - Advanced practices in data collection and curation - Benchmarks and benchmarking tools - Perceptual studies - Experimental studies - Material measurements - Systems - Hardware - Theoretical foundations - New promising approaches that do not yet achieve state-of-the-art performance Technical Papers Submission guidelines: https://computeranimation.org/instructions.html Timeline: - Submission deadline (papers and posters): April 29, 2024 (23:59 UTC) - Notification of acceptance: June 16, 2024 - Revised version deadline: July 7, 2024 (23:59 UTC) - Journal notification: July 18, 2024 - Camera ready due: July 25, 2024 (23:59 UTC) He Wang and Melina Skouras (Programme Chairs, SCA 2024)
