We invite submissions of structured sessions (e.g., short talks and experience reports) to mix with game sessions and discussions. Proposals should address games and gamification in Agile that could foster good discussions, such as new games that make processes more fun or using games for team-building, strategies to assess the impact and the value of using games, games in remote and hybrid formats, and more.

Proposals will be evaluated based on the following criteria:

• Relevance to practitioners
• Likelihood of starting a discussion
• Being something interesting and new, not something boring and established

We expect three types of submissions:

• Game Demo
  • Format: an abstract (250 to 500 words)
  • Content: the scenario in which the game applies, the game dynamics, and the settings
  • Playability in the Conference: willing to host a game session?
• Game Experience Report
  • Format: 4 pages
  • Type: Presenting a New Game or Adopting a Game in a New Context
  • Presentation of the game, its purposes, settings, and dynamics
  • The scenario in which the experience happened
  • The impacts on the context, the results of the game session(s)
• Game Publication
  • Format: 4 pages + supplementary material
  • Type: Presenting New Game
  • Presentation of the game, its purposes, settings, and dynamics
  • The scenario in which the experience happened
  • The impacts on the context, the results of the game session(s)
  • Supplementary material: rule book, game in Print-and-Play version
  • Playability in the Conference: willing to host a game session?
  • The authors must hold the rights to the game itself and all of its assets, such as, but not limited to, assets, icons, or images

The submissions are either an abstract (250 to 500 words) for the “Game Demo” setting or a short paper (max. 4 pages) for the “Game Experience Report” and “Game Publication” settings; in the case of the latter, the specified supplementary material (SM) will be acceptable, which is not constrained by the 4 pages limit: you can submit a PDF with the author’s files. Note that no SM replaces the original work, and if only the SM is submitted, it will be rejected. These submissions will be peer-reviewed by at least three peers and must conform to the LNBIP formatting instructions. You can read the instructions for authors here.

During the conference, for the “Game Demo” and “Game Publication” settings where the authors marked as “willing to host a game session”, the registration of at least one of the authors for the proceedings to continue is mandatory. After the conference, you will be asked to improve your paper based on feedback from the conference participants and reviewers. The accepted papers will be published as Open Access in the post-conference proceedings by Springer (Lecture Notes in Business Information Processing, LNBIP).

The submissions are shared electronically via the EasyChair submission system by the defined deadlines.
