PerGames 2007, Call for Paper

PerGames 2007 will take place at the University of Salzburg, Austria, on June 11 and 12, 2007.

The PerGames series of international symposia addresses the design and technical issues of bringing computer entertainment back to the real world with pervasive games.

Contributions can take the form of research papers (e.g. on awareness issues in pervasive games, (mis-)use of enabling technologies in games) and also citywide games:

Citywide Games are larger than Live Demonstrations with respect to the suggested temporal or spatial expansion. Typically, they will be played over several hours or days within the city of Salzburg or within the conference building.

Possible types of Citywide Games include mobile phone games, augmented reality games, casual games, alternate reality games, online on street games, event-based games, proximity games, crossmedia games, technology-enhanced larp games.
