DESCRIPTION OF TOPICS

Some of the most dramatic recent developments in computing have been the
explosive growth in interactive digital entertainment (IDE), and social and
lifestyle computing-or the non-business use of computing for purposes of
entertainment, socialization, and lifestyle augmentation. For example, the
market for gaming alone is currently about $7.3 billion dollars, with $936
million in online gaming. Meanwhile, the market for digital entertainment in
homes and home automation has reached an all-time high in 2005 with no end
in sight. These non-business uses of computing represent large and
legitimate markets with social implications that are so profound and global
in impact that effected societies will never be the same.

 

Gaming has long been an extension of artificial intelligence research, but
its many social, economic, and business implications have long been ignored
by academic computing researchers. Research in interactive digital
entertainment and lifestyle computing is even sparser. Given the magnitude
of impact that interactive digital entertainment and lifestyle computing
will have on the world, this minitrack will explore and foster unaddressed
social, business, and technical research in these areas. 

 

Example topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following
aspects of online interactive digital entertainment (IDE) and lifestyle
computing:

 

* Advertising models with IDE

* AI techniques for IDE

* Auctions for online gaming components

* Automated / smart homes

* Collaborative gaming

* Communication techniques and issues of IDE

* Conflicts between real and virtual worlds

* Diffusion and adoption of IDE

* Digital convergence

* Digital personas

* E-business of entertainment

* Economic impact of IDE

* Gaming communities

* Gaming currencies

* HCI aspects of IDE / edutainment

* IDE agents 

* Immersive gaming

* Interactive digital storytelling / techniques for interactive narration

* Interactive theatre

* Learning through IDE

* Lifestyle computing

* Massive social collaboration

* Measures of IDE

* Metaphors of IDE

* Methodologies and development techniques 

* Mixed reality and virtual reality

* Mobile gaming

* Models of IDE

* Novel interfaces

* Online addiction and anti-social behavior

* Online environments of IDE

* Pricing of IDE

* Privacy and security issues 

* Social blogging

* Social issues and considerations of IDE

* Ubiquitous gaming

* Virtual reality

* Wearable computing

* Wireless social computing
