 *************************************************************************


Dear Colleagues,

We
 are happy to announce the 10th international conference on virtual 
worlds and games for serious applications – the VS-Games 2018 in 
Würzburg, Germany.

Games and virtual worlds
 for serious applications have continued with their triumphant advance 
in 2018. Never before have they experienced more attention by society, 
politicians and researchers. Their success can be seen in a variety of 
fields, including education, medicine or engineering. This makes related
 research to their design, application and evaluation even more 
important. The conference therefore aims to provide a forum for 
researchers from different disciplines to share new case studies of 
practice, to present virtual world infrastructure developments, as well 
as new frameworks, methodologies and theories relevant to our community.

Topics of interest are:
• AI applications for serious games
• Serious games methodologies
• User-modelling in serious games
• Pervasive gaming
• Interactivity issues
• Game design
• Alternate reality games
• Virtual environments
• Augmented reality
• Visualisation techniques
• Human-computer interaction
• Mobile games
• Education and learning
• Multimedia gaming
• Case studies in serious games and virtual worlds

Accepted
 papers must be presented orally in English at VS-Games 2018. This event
 uses a triple-blind reviewing approach, so please be sure to remove all
 personal data (such as authors, affiliations, etc.)
from
 your submission. References to your own work should be made in the 
third person to maintain anonymity. Reviewers are asked to keep 
confidential all materials sent to them for evaluation. Non-anonymous 
submissions will be rejected without review. One registered participant 
may present up to two papers.
The VS-Games has 
three tracks – full paper, short paper and poster, with corresponding 
lengths of 8, 4, and 2 pages. We ask authors to ensure that their paper 
fits within the specified length for their submission track, including 
references. Authors are encouraged to upload supplementary material 
(e.g. multimedia), if such material facilitates the understanding of the
 work.
Electronic submission of all papers is 
mandatory and will be conducted using the EasyChair system by April 
30th. Papers must be written in English, must be anonymized, and must be
 formatted according to IEEE standards (A4 template) (regardless of 
category).
All authors will be notified of 
paper acceptance by 4st of June 2018. There is no rebuttal process. 
Successful submissions will be asked to review carefully their paper and
 make any minor modifications requested by reviewers, before uploading 
the camera ready version by 22th of June 2018. All accepted papers will 
be submitted for inclusion to IEEE Xplore.

For any questions regarding submission please email the conference chairs: generalchair at 2018.vsgames.org.
