> “Social games”, defined as games played and distributed on Social  

> Networks, have become a digital gaming phenomenon. The most popular  

> games boast tens of millions of users each month, using simple  

> mechanics to reach a vast audience apparently under-served      by  

> traditional digital games. This enormous success raises important  

> questions about game design, interface design, psychology and the  

> social power of online networks.

>

> This one-day workshop will convene academics and practitioners in  

> the HCI community and other fields to share and discuss the state of  

> the art in social games design and research, and how it connects to  

> HCI as a field. Papers and workshop results will be published on  

> socialgamestudies.org, and contributors will be encouraged to  

> participate in the growing community of researchers and practitioners.

>

> We invite you to submit a 2-4 page position paper that reports  

> current work, contextualises social games in existing (HCI) fields,  

> systematizes research approaches and questions, or otherwise relates  

> to social games. Papers will be selected based on relevance and  

> potential contribution to a vivid discussion.

>

> Topics may include, but are not limited to:

> * Interfaces for Social Interaction

> * Play Practices in Social Games

> * Design for “Freemium” models

> * Social Games Audiences

> * Player Behavior in Social Networks

> * Psychology of Social Games

> * Social Mechanics in Social Games

>

> Please indicate how many authors will attend the workshop (places  

> are limited). At least one author of each accepted position paper  

> must register for the workshop and for at least one day of the  

> conference. For more information, visit the workshop site at http://socialgamestudies.org/chi2011
