[iva] Call for Papers – CASA 2019 in Paris, France

[Catherine PELACHAUD]

The 32th International Conference on Computer Animation and Social 
Agents (CASA 2019) will be held on July 1-3, 2019 in Paris, France. The 
conference is organized by Sorbonne University (France), 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), Korea 
(2017), China (2018).

===========================================================================================================================================
WARNING: There is a conference called ICCASA 2019 that claims to be the 
21st International Conference on Computer Animation and Social Agents in 
Bali in January 2019.
This conference is not the official CASA and is launched by an 
organization World Academy of Science, Engineering and Technology that 
is unfortunately very famous for
its predatory publishing practices.
