Game Conferences Part II

A great calendar of Game related conferences:

http://www.digra.org/events

And one I wish I didn’t miss:

We hereby invite scholars in any field who take a professional interest in the phenomenon of
computer games to submit papers to the international conference “The Philosophy of Computer
Games 2009″, to be held in Oslo, Norway, on August 13-15, 2009.

Accepted papers will have a clear focus on philosophy and philosophical issues in relation to computer games. They will also attempt to use specific examples rather than merely invoke “computer games” in general terms. We invite submissions focusing on, but not limited to, the following three headings:

  •  Fictionality and Interaction
  • Defining Computer Games
  • Ethical and Political Issues

International Conference on Computer Games

The International Conference on Computer Games: AI, Animation,  Mobile, Interactive Multimedia, Educational & Serious Games organised by The University of Wolverhampton, England, is one of the leading research conferences devoted to the advancement of the theory and practice of games development. It brings together an international community of experts to discuss the state of the art, new research results, perspectives of future developments and innovative applications relevant to games development and related areas. We are proud to announce that this years conference is sponsored by the University of Wolverhampton. The most recent conference, CGAMES09 was held at the Galt House Hotel, Louisville, Kentucky, USA. More information about other conferences can be found at CGAMES Main Website

We are delighted to announce that the 15th Conference will take place in the University of Alicante, Alicante, Spain. Alicante is the capital of the province of Alicante, in the southern part of the Valencian Community. Amongst the most notable features of the city are the Castle of Santa Bárbara, which sits high above the city, and the port of Alicante

The conference is sponsored by the Society for Computer Simulation (SCS), the Institute Electrical Engineers (IEE), the British Computer Society (BCS), the Digital Games Research Association (DIGRA) and The International Journal of Intelligent Games and Simulation. On behalf of our conference sponsors and the conference organising committee, we hope that you will plan to join us in Alicante in November 2009.
