22nd ACM International Conference on Intelligent Virtual Agents
University of Algarve, Faro, Portugal
September 6th-9th, 2022
https://ivaconference2022.ualg.pt/

Submission deadline: May 2, 2022

The Intelligent Virtual Agents (IVA) Annual Conference is the premier international event for interdisciplinary research on the design, application, and evaluation of Intelligent Virtual Agents (IVAs) with a specific focus on the ability to socially interact. IVAs are interactive characters that exhibit human-like qualities including communicating using natural human modalities such as facial expressions, speech, and gesture.

IVA 2022 aims to showcase cutting-edge research on the design, application, and evaluation of IVAs, as well as the basic research underlying the technology that supports human-agent interaction such as social perception, dialog modeling, and social behavior planning. This year, we particularly encourage submissions exploring the challenges of developing, authoring, and deploying multi-IVA reusable environments targeted both at expert and non-expert users.… read more. “Call: IVA 2022 – 22nd ACM International Conference on Intelligent Virtual Agents”
