Call for Position Papers

The workshop "Evaluating User Experiences in Games" invites position
papers on evaluation methods for user experience in games. Submissions
are invited addressing one or more of the following questions:

*	What kind of evaluation concepts and methods are used in the
industry, and what are their limitations? 
*	Do today's game evaluation concepts and methods address industry
needs? 
*	What factors of game experience are measured and have to be
measured? 
*	How can we evaluate new forms and developments of interaction
techniques in gaming - for example emotion or eye-movement as input for
games, ambient displays or virtual environments as output? 
*	Is there a common framework of methods that are appropriate to
evaluate the user experience in games? 

Submissions are expected in the form of 4 page position papers (ACM
format), describing the area of research, specific work (empirical or
theoretical) on the workshop topic and the innovative character of the
research at hand. The position paper can be either a case study,
experience report, experiment, methodological concept or a theoretical
framework. Position papers will be peer-reviewed. At least one author of
accepted papers needs to register for the workshop during CHI 2008 (for
details on the registration see www.chi2008.org). General inquiries
