Call for Papers
Conference Theme: Designing for Play, Education, Health, Training, Social
Change, and Gamification
The IEEE Consumer Electronics Society is pleased to announce the Fifth
International Games Innovation Conference. Continuing the tradition that
began in London 2009, to Hong Kong in 2010, and extended to Orange, CA,
USA in 2011 and Rochester in 2012, this conference is a platform for
disseminating academic peer-reviewed papers and industry innovation papers
that describe innovative research and development and implementation of
game technologies. Participation from academia, industry and government
are welcome. We are soliciting the following type of papers:
For Academic Style Peer Review:
Short papers (4 pages)
Long papers (5-8 pages)
For Industrial Strength Work:
Papers on practical aspects of game technology (2 pages or 10 slides)
and
Posters, panels, and workshops (2 pages).
Papers (abstract, main text, figures, and references) or slides (for work
from industry) or short papers (for posters, panels, and workshops) should
be submitted to https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=2013igic
Paper submission deadline: May 1, 2013
Papers reporting innovations, new developments, and industrial
applications in all areas related to games, play, health, education,
training, social change, and gamification are invited, including but not
limited to the following:
