CFP: International Journal of People-Oriented Programming (IJPOP)

7. March 2010 by admin.

********************* CALL FOR PAPERS *********************
***INAUGURAL ISSUE***

SUBMISSION DUE DATE: 1st May 2010

International Journal of People-Oriented Programming (IJPOP)

Official publication of the Information Resources Management Association
www.igi-global.com/IJPOP

Co-Editors-in-Chief: Steve Goschnick & Sandrine Balbo
Published: Semi-annual (both in Print and Electronic form)

Mission of IJPOP:

The International Journal of People-Oriented Programming (IJPOP) is
cross-discipline in range yet singularly focused on empowering
individuals to conceptualise, design, program, configure and
orchestrate Internet-powered mashups, game mods (modifications),
aggregate and structure personal media and build standalone
cloud-based and client-side applications (on smartphones, netbooks,
laptops, desktops, home network and novel appliances) into
self-fashioned tools and products that ultimately suit the user’s own
unique needs and aspirations. Other individuals may well take up such
apps, mods and mashups for themselves, further customising, enhancing
and embellishing them, or they may in part be used in a social or
family context (to the benefit of the collective aspirations of those
Social Worlds of which the individual is a part) nonetheless, the
focus of composition, development and customisation is on a product
for oneself, upon theory, concepts, techniques, methodologies and
ultimately tools that service a market of one. Our mission is to be
the first journal that comes to mind to academics and practitioners
alike and remain the best with regard to all aspects of
People-Oriented Programming. Our papers and reviews will be insightful
and compelling to both educators and researchers, and often to a wider
audience too the people for whom this paradigm of software
development has come about.

SCOPE:

People-Oriented Programming requires high-level tools to empower both
the technical and non-technical user, which in turn calls upon
research into meta-models that inform design and construction, that
aid comparisons of these tools, and facilitates the interchange of
content between them. The meta-models of most interest to POP
initially, are drawn from two disparate disciplines the Task
Analysis (TA) and Agent-Oriented (AO) paradigms both of which often
have models with representations of entities matching the needs of
POP, e.g. goal, task, object, agent, individual, role, intention and
communication. Several AO architectures and methodologies have called
upon branches of Psychology to formulate AO meta-models that
incorporate mentalistic notions such as perception, motivation and
intention, but which are most often aimed at constructing artificial
humans and the like. In POP we too call upon those same Psychologies
and similarly enhance and formulate meta-models and methodologies
influenced by them, but with the intention of augmenting and
empowering the individual human, in areas where they themselves desire
aid or have identified a gap in their own abilities or resources,
which they want to enhance.

From Sociology, POP draws upon ethnography with a focus on
self-ethnography using tools such as cultural probes, life blogs and
life logs to capture aspects of the individual’s own life, themselves
(or through a life coach), from which they draw the desire and/or
frame the need for new technological artefacts to be used in their own
lives. Interactivity, with respect to facilitating and streamlining a
regular user’s intention to build their own artefacts, and
situatedness in terms of the individual’s current location and
activities, are two other facets of HCI (human computer interaction)
that POP encompasses.

Video gaming is the first application area where large numbers of
everyday users have been able to envisage and then developed their own
innovations within existing games. So-called game mods are working
examples of POP where players have appropriated userfriendly tools,
usually built into the game engines by the vendors (e.g. The Sims,
World of Warcraft, etc.). Video games have joined other media (e.g.
movie, novel, comic) in the new genre of transmedia storytelling (e.g.
franchises such as Tomb Raider, The Matrix, Harry Potter), allowing
the player to enter the story ’so far’, extending it in the ‘now’,
constructing their own individualised narratives and increasingly,
with the capability to enhance and extend the realm of the game
itself. These individual constructed game mods allow players to extend
virtual realms and narratives in real-time, in directions often
unforeseen by the game engine makers. Such activities are
increasingly a part of an individual’s entertainment and education.
Game modding as described, and the engines and tools that enable it,
are within the scope of POP.

Internet-based mashup tools (e.g. Google Wave) have opened up a second
application front beyond game mods, where POP is likely to gain mass
adoption and occasionally produce radical user innovation. The
selection and orchestration of disparate distributed services (e.g.
web services; information feeds; the Cloud) by an individual within a
user-friendly toolkit or framework, is also in the scope of POP. While
the formal protocols and the technical enactment of such specific
services are of little interest here, the quality, access, usage,
aggregation and orchestration of them by the individual themselves,
into a personalised synergy of capability made available through some
enacting technology, are of acute interest to POP. Modeling techniques
and people-friendly notations that bridge and coordinate distributed
services together with local resources within POP tools ones that
the layperson can understand and use in conceptualising their designs
- encompasses another cross-discipline facet of POP.

Digital Prototype Introduction

9. January 2010 by admin.

A good digital prototype convinces us of its reality and compels us to make it real. It is an imaginative piece of visual fiction that excites our interest and sates our needs. It does not exist, but we want to it to exist. It has not been made, but we are eager for its production. If you have succeeded at proposing an engaging idea, we want to check our accounts to find a way to afford it, our maps to figure out a way to visit it, or an encyclopedia for its nearest substitute.

A good digital prototype is a proof of concept so convincing that we want t it to be real. As project stakeholders, we are willing to invest money and resources into it. We are so excited by its potential reality that we are willing to takes risks to make it work. It is not merely an illustration; it is a perfect fiction to which we excitedly subscribe. Much like the digital prototype in engineering, it is plausible, not merely possible. It is proof of a possibility, illustrative of the probable wonder in a previously unpresented solution.

The City of Vancouver
Bordered by the Coast Mountain Range and the Pacific Ocean, Vancouver is
recognized as one of the world’s most livable cities. Archaeological
evidence shows that the Coast Salish people had settled the Vancouver
area by 500 BC. In the 1870s, Vancouver was founded as a sawmill
settlement called Granville. And in 1886, the city was incorporated and
renamed Vancouver after Captain George Vancouver, a British naval
captain who explored the area in 1792. Vancouver is the eighth largest
city in Canada with a population of 578,000 (2006 census) and has one of
the mildest climates in Canada with temperatures averaging around 3
degrees Celsius in January and 18 degrees Celsius in July. It covers
114.7 sq km (44.3 sq miles), and is part of Metro Vancouver, the third
largest metropolitan area in Canada, with a population of 2.1 million
(2006 census). The City of Vancouver is renowned for its innovative
programs in the areas of sustainability, accessibility and inclusivity.
In 2010, Vancouver will host the world at the 2010 Olympic and
Paralympic Winter Games. Vancouver has more than 200 diverse parks, but
Vancouver’s most famous park is Stanley Park. One of the largest urban
parks in the world, with 150 year old forest, 8.85 km of seawall, and
many popular attractions.

The Vancouver Convention and Exhibition Centre
Built on the original Pier B-C on Vancouver’s Waterfront, the Vancouver
Convention Centre first served as the Canada Pavilion for the World’s
Fair Expo in 1986. Since then, it has grown to become recognized as one
of the leading convention centres in the world. It has been designated
a Power Smart Convention Centre by BC Hydro, awarded the “GO GREEN”
certificate from the Building Owners and Managers Association (BOMA) for
industry-approved, environmental best practices in building management,
and contains a living roof, seawater heating and cooling, on-site water
treatment and fish habitat built into the foundation of the West
Building making it one of the “greenest” convention centres in the
world. The Convention Centre is located at 1055 Canada Place,
Vancouver, BC, V6C 0C3, Canada. (http://www.vancouverconventioncentre.com/)

Global Game Jam: Sign Up Now

25. November 2009 by admin.

Signup for the 2nd Global Game Jam has begun.

Global Game Jam participants

The Global Game Jam is an international computer game making festival, where people all over the world race to make an original game in a single weekend. In 2009, the first Global Game Jam involved 1600 people, from 23 countries. From Caracas to Tokyo they made 370 games in one weekend. As the organizers put it, “lives were changed, jobs found, ideas sold, collaborations and opportunities abound.”

Miami University is a site location for the second Global Game Jam ever. We will be hosting participants for the 2010 Global Game, on January 29-31, 2010. For independent game makers, students, and game enthusiasts this is a one-of-kind experience. The event, organized by the International Game Developer’s Association, is the only event of its type in the world.

The Armstrong Institute for Interactive Media studies will be partnering with the Computer Science and Software Engineering department at Miami University to make our school one of the best locations in the Global Game Jam community. Participation is not limited to those areas nor is it limited to members of the Miami community. We strongly encourage everyone with a passion for game making and interactive media to participate. Teams include artists, sound designers, interaction designers, programmers, and anyone with passion for game making. Everyone from high school students to industry professionals may participate. Participants may even receive international press for their game designs. Registration is now available.

I was a guest designer at the Chicago location for the Global Game in 2009 and the energy was fantastic. People fall into a rhythm and really have fun at the event. Spending one intense weekend developing a game is a nice way to add to your portfolio, finally get started on that game you’ve been meaning to make, experience game design, or simply bond with other people who share your passion.

From the 2010 Global Game Jam press release:
“Game Jams foster innovation and experimentation. If you have ever wanted to make a game, be a part of a team, or go outside of your usual working method, then a game jam is for you. It’s all about making games and in the GGJ you’re part of a global experiment in creativity. A game jam is not for the faint of heart though. It’s two days of hard work, experimentation, little sleep, collaboration, new friends, great ideas, laughs, technical issues and the time of your life.

Everyone is given similar constraints and rules to make their games, it is amazing how different and culturally diverse the games will be. The Nordic Game Jam has honored GGJ with being the flagship Game Jam. The goal is to provide a vehicle for professional developers, students and hobbyist to come together and have an incredible experience in collaboration and inventiveness. The GGJ works perfectly into the mission of the International Game Developers Association, ‘Connecting members with their peers & promoting professional development.’ A Game Jam is not a competition, it is unique ‘idea space’ where sometimes things work and sometimes they don’t. “

If you are interested in creating a team, you should being to organize yourselves now. The strongest teams balance designers, artists, and developers. The Global Game Jam will be accepting participants soon, so get ready for this exceptional opportunity! You can learn more about the Miami University Global Game jam at http://aims.muohio.edu/gamejam.
