are happy to announce the 10th international conference on virtual
worlds and games for serious applications – the VS-Games 2018 in
Würzburg, Germany.<br><br></font><font size="3">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.</font><br><br><b><font size="3">Topics of interest are:<br><br></font></b><font size="3">• AI applications for serious games</font><br><font size="3">• Serious games methodologies</font><br><font size="3">• User-modelling in serious games</font><br><font size="3">• Pervasive gaming</font><br><font size="3">• Interactivity issues</font><br><font size="3">• Game design</font><br><font size="3">• Alternate reality games</font><br><font size="3">• Virtual environments</font><br><font size="3">• Augmented reality</font><br><font size="3">• Visualisation techniques</font><br><font size="3">• Human-computer interaction</font><br><font size="3">• Mobile games</font><br><font size="3">• Education and learning</font><br><font size="3">• Multimedia gaming</font><br><font size="3">• Case studies in serious games and virtual worlds<br><br><br></font><font size="3"><font size="3"><font><b>Keynotes</b></font></font></font><br><div align="center"><font size="3"><font size="3"><br></font></font></div><div align="left"><font size="3"><font size="3"><font size="3"><font size="3">• Prof. Dr. Kurt Squire</font></font></font></font><br></div><font size="3"><font size="3"><font size="3"><font size="3">• Prof. Dr. Constance Steinkuehler</font></font></font></font><br><font size="3"><font size="3"><font size="3"><font size="3">• Prof. Dr. Constantine Stephanidis</font></font></font></font><font size="3"><font><br><br><br><b>Submission<br><br></b>All papers must be submitted via our online<br>submission system.
