Academic studies are increasingly paying attention to active audiences and participatory cultures. The figure of the fan – the enthusiastic, adoring, productive, but critical audience member – perhaps best captures these cultures. Both online and offline, fans have their own subcultures, habits and local practices.

In this workshop at the ICEC 2015 Conference we will focus on how to design for playful experiences in multi-screen environments (smartphone, tablet, PC and TV), how existing gaming concepts can or cannot be transferred to the design of novel multi-screen formats, and how current insights in sociability, genres and attention can inspire new game concepts.

The Game Studies area of the National Popular Culture Association and the American Culture Association Conference invites proposals for papers and panels on games and game studies for the Popular Culture Association/American Culture Association National Conference to be held Monday, March 21 through Friday, March 25, 2016 at the Sheraton in Seattle, WA.

This workshop aims at promoting and exploring the possibilities for research and practical applications involving Natural Language Processing (NLP) and Games. The main objective is to provide a forum for researchers and practitioners to discuss and share ideas regarding how the NLP research community can contribute to games research and vice versa.

In the academic world, today we see an increasing interest in the relations between work and game. These research are not exclusively turned to the study of serious games but consider the transfer of games elements in workplaces.

This year the 2016 IEEE International Conference on Serious Games and Applications for Health will be held in Orlando, Florida – US, from 11-13 May, 2016.
