Welcome to the call for Participation in:
DHM 2025: The 9th International Digital Human Modelling Symposium.
The 9th International Digital Human Modeling Symposium 2025 (DHM2025) will be held July 29 to July 31, 2025 in Loughborough, UK. The symposium will be hosted by the School of Design and Cresative Arts at Loughborough University and arranged in collaboration with International Ergonomics Association’s Technical Committee on Digital Human Modeling and Simulation.
Loughborough is a small market town in a central location in the UK, near to the cities of Nottingham, Derby and Leicester, and a 1,5hr train ride north of London. Loughborough University is a major feature of the town and one of the largest singe site campuses at 523 acres.
DHM2025 continues a successful history of symposia focused on digital approaches to modelling, understanding and exploiting human simulations for a wide variety of applications and industries. The symposium provides a friendly and accessible forum for researchers and practitioners to share their experiences, latest research, applications, case studies, and advancements in the field, as well as opportunities to from new networks or celebrate existing ones.
Welcome to DHM 2025.
Submission 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All submitted material must be original and unpublished.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 DHM2025 Conference Management System (EasyChair), before 3 December, 2024.
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 (max 250 words). The abstract should give an outline of the full paper, indicating the paper’s merits and relevance to the scope of the DHM2025 Symposium, and a brief account of the results.
Notification of acceptance will be sent on 18 December, 2024 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 DHM2025 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 DHM2025 Conference Management System (EasyChair) before 3 March, 2025. Templates and further instructions are available through the submission link above.
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 blind. 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 by 24 March, 2025.
The modified final (camera-ready) version of the paper should be re-submitted before 29 April, 2025.
For a paper to be presented at the symposium and published in the proceedings, at least one author per paper needs to register to attend. Note that it is acceptable for registered attendees to present multiple papers, either their own research or that of colleagues or postgraduate researchers.
List of Topics
The DHM2025 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:
- Anthropometry and 3D and 4D human body modelling
- Model standards and protocols
- Verification and validation of DHMs
- Musculoskeletal human models
- Motion capture and reconstruction
- Posture and motion simulation
- Mental/cognitive models and integrated models
- Human functional data (e.g., joint maximum strength, joint range of motion)
- Modelling for subjective responses (e.g., ingress/egress, seat comfort)
- Musculoskeletal human models
- Body part modelling (e.g., spine, pelvis, head, hand, foot..)
- Modelling of responses to shock or impact or vibration
- Modelling of unrepresented groups: older people, people with disabilities etc.
- DHM for AR, VR in Metaverse Applications or Digital environments
- Clothing design and simulation using DHM
- The use of DHM in all application areas
