Serious Games Project Asks For Academic Papers

Posted by simoniker on from the as-opposed-to-fun-games dept.

An anonymous reader points out that the Serious Games Project, which is part of the Woodrow Wilson International Center For Scholars at the Smithsonian, has just submitted a call for academic papers. They're interested in discussing problems such as "what public policy and management issues or challenges are most amenable to computer-based gaming techniques?", and there is already a very interesting Chris Crawford-written paper on the site, "Subjectivity And Simulation" (PDF link).

    Marvin Minsky gave a talk at GDC 2001 that emphasized the role of AI in games. It was mostly a promo for his book , but he took some time to address how important games were to learning and cited examples. Check the following URL to view the entire keynote.
