Call For Participation
Games And Social Networks: A Workshop On Multiplayer Games
A one-day workshop to held at HCI 2004, The 18th British HCI Group Annual
Conference
Leeds Metropolitan University, UK, 6-10 September 2004
Organizers: John Halloran, Geraldine Fitzpatrick (University of Sussex);
Barry Brown (University of Glasgow)
DESCRIPTION
This workshop will bring together researchers and professionals interested
in the social potential of online multiplayer computer games. These games
support complex social networks which are both large or small; ad-hoc or
pre-organised; and temporary or persistent. They also feature elaborate
cooperative behaviours, such as complex economic markets and valuable social
bonds. This workshop addresses how these networks support connections
between players and new forms of social behaviour and interaction. In
particular, it will focus on studies of how games are played, how
conversation and chat are combined with online interaction and how games can
be better designed to support community and social interaction.
