IVA 2024 - Call for Demos


Deadline: April 5th


The 24th ACM International Conference on Intelligent Virtual Agents<https://iva.acm.org/2024/> is the premier international event for interdisciplinary research on the design, application, and evaluation of Intelligent Virtual Agents. Intelligent Virtual Agents (IVAs) are interactive characters that exhibit human-like qualities, including communicating using natural human modalities such as facial expressions, speech, and gesture. IVAs are capable of real-time perception, cognition, emotion and action that allow them to participate in dynamic social environments.


This year the IVA conference will be co-located with the 12th International Conference on Affective Computing and Intelligent Interaction (ACII 2024) in Glasgow between the 16th and 19th of September 2024.


We are proud to announce that the call for Demos at IVA is now open. Demos focus on the presentation and exhibition of implemented systems. If you are working on a project of interest to the IVA community that has a demonstrable component, we encourage you to submit a demonstration paper. Hosting a demo of your work is a great way to meet researchers in the field and receive feedback on your work.


Submitting your demo:


Demo paper submissions should be maximum 2 pages long with 1 additional page for references and 1 page detailing all technical requirements for the presentation of the demo. The authors should include in their submissions:

  *   Demo title

  *   Authors and Presenters: affiliation, email address, selected contact person

  *   Rationale: Explain why the system demonstrated is of interest to the IVA research community.

  *   System explanation: Give a short explanation of the system, explain its use cases and how it helps bridge a specific knowledge gap.

  *   Video material: We recommend that demo submissions include a hyperlink to a video of the demo. The video should be no more than 5 minutes long.


The technical requirements page for the demo should include everything necessary to run and display the demo (e.g., one external monitor, two headsets, one table, etc.).


Please use the “ACM Standard” format for your submission, more specifically the “SigConf” format: template<https://www.acm.org/publications/proceedings-template>s.


All materials should be submitted via email to demochairs at iva.acm.org<mailto:demochairs at iva.acm.org>. Please use the subject line in the following format: “DEMO-IVA 2024 | [Your Demo Title]”.


Accepted demos will be presented during a special session at IVA and the papers will be included in the conference proceedings.


Demo papers will be reviewed confidentially. Acceptance will be decided by the IVA2024 Demo and Programme Chairs. Decisions are final. The following criteria will guide the review process:

  *   Relevance to IVA

  *   Interest to the audience

  *   Quality and organization


For questions regarding demos and the submission process please contact the IVA demo chairs, Pablo Arias Sarah and Stefán Ólafsson, at demochairs at iva.acm.org<mailto:demochairs at iva.acm.org>.
