Author: by Beth A.

The 4th International Symposium on Pervasive Gaming Applications has announced that top paper submissions will be published in the prestigious ACM Journal Computers in Entertainment (CIE). Additional papers will be published in the Journal of Virtual Reality and Broadcasting (JVRB) that will bring out a dedicated special issue about Pervasive Games. PerGames 2007 will take place at the University of Salzburg, Austria, on June 11 - 12, 2007. It will be co-located with the ACM Conference on Advancements in Entertainment Technologies (ACE). The PerGames series of international symposia addresses the design and technical issues of bringing computer entertainment back to the real world with pervasive games. Previous PerGames events were held in Vienna (2004), Munich (2005), Dublin (2006) and attracted researchers and practitioners from all over the world. PerGames 2007 will feature high quality paper presentations and demos reviewed by an international program committee of experts from the fields of Pervasive Computing and Gaming. Participation is organized into four distinct categories: Research Papers, Research Posters, Live Demonstrations, and Citywide Games. Paper submissions are due March 1, 2007, while other submissions are due April 15, 2007. For category details and submission guidelines, visit the symposium website.
