The theme of our conference is „The Science of Gaming and Simulation for a World in Systemic Crises“. We particularly invite contributions that address the generation of knowledge, design and impact through gaming and simulation, and reflective papers that explore the scientific foundations of the field.
For each submission, we invite the authors to refer to the papers presenting the work of the ISAGA SIG on Game Science as a frame of reference. (See here)
Submissions on topics with the following focus are particularly welcome:
- Ontological and epistemological analysis of gaming and simulation branches
- The relation between the player and artificial intelligence, big data and automation
- The reality of Augmented and virtual reality
- Civil preparedness for disaster
