The 6th International Digital Human Modeling Symposium 2020 (DHM2020) will be held August 31 to September 2, 2020 in Skövde, Sweden. The symposium will be hosted by University of Skövde together with Fraunhofer-Chalmers Centre and arranged in collaboration with International Ergonomics Association’s Technical Committee on Digital Human Modeling and Simulation.

The town of Skövde is situated in the south western part of Sweden between Vänern and Vättern, the two biggest lakes in the country. The region has a rich cultural heritage, and many historical tourist attractions.

Welcome to DHM2020 in Skövde, Sweden.

Scope and Topics

The DHM2020 Symposium provides an international forum for researchers to report their latest innovations, summarize state-of-the-art in the field, as well as exchange ideas, results, and visions in all fields of digital human modeling research and applications.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:

Anthropometry and 3D human body modeling
Human functional data (e.g., joint maximum strength, joint range of motion)
Musculoskeletal human models
Motion capture and reconstruction
Posture and motion simulation
Modeling for subjective responses (e.g. ingress/egress, seat comfort)
Applications and software demonstration
Virtual reality and DHM
Mental/cognitive models and integrated models
Older, disabled and other special populations
Verification and validation of DHMs
Model standards and protocols
Body part modelling (Spine, Pelvis, Head, Hand and Foot modelling)
Virtual humans appearance
Biomechanical modelling
Human vibration modelling
DHM in safety applications
DHM in game applications

Author Instructions

All submitted material must be original and unpublished.

Abstract

Authors from academia, industry, and research institutes are invited to submit an abstract in the DHM2020 Conference Management System (EasyChair), before 31 January, 2020.

The abstract should include no author names, author affiliations, figures/tables or references.

Please structure the abstract using these headings:

- Title (preliminary)
- Keywords (3-5)
- Topic(s) (see section "Scope and Topics")
- Abstract (300-350 words). The abstract should give an outline of the full paper, indicating the paper’s merits and relevance to the scope of the DHM2020 Symposium, and a brief account of the results.

Notification of acceptance will be sent on 21 February, 2020 at the latest.

Full paper

Authors of accepted abstracts are invited to submit full papers. The final paper should be 6-9 pages. The required language is English. All submissions are made in the DHM2020 Conference Management System (EasyChair).

All authors must use the specific template for preparing their full papers and strictly follow the given instructions. The full paper is submitted in the DHM2020 Conference Management System (EasyChair) before 17 May, 2020. Templates and further instructions will be available through the dhm2020.org website.

All submitted full papers will be subject to peer-review by the Scientific Committee. To increase quality and minimize the risk of bias, the review process is double blinded. To allow this, no names or affiliations of authors should be included in the full paper manuscript to be reviewed. Author names and affiliations are later added when submitting the final (camera-ready) version of the paper.

Review comments on full papers will be sent back to the corresponding author on 7 June, 2020 at latest.

The modified final (camera-ready) version of the paper should be re-submitted before 1 July, 2020.

For a paper to be presented at the symposium and published in the proceedings, at least one unique author per paper needs to be registered by the registration deadline on 1 July, 2020.
