4 Preface As games technologies have become more and more widely available, the ability of games to engage users effectively in specific, designed activities has been seized as an opportunity to use computer games for purposes beyond recreation. Since the term serious games was comprehensively defined in 2002, they have been used as a tools to gives individuals a novel way to interact with games in order to promote physical activities, to learn skills and knowledge, to support social or emotional development, to treat different types of psychological and physical disorders, to generate awareness, and to advertise and promote in application areas such as engineering, education and training, competence development, healthcare, military, advertising, city planning, production, and crisis response, just to name a few. Many recent studies have identified the benefits of using video games for a variety of serious purposes. Serious gaming is a particularly timely subject as there has been recent re-emergence of serious games design and production; one 2010 market study indicated that the worldwide market for serious games was worth 1.5 billion. The aim of the annual International Conference on Serious Games Development and Applications (SGDA) is to disseminate and exchange knowledge on serious games technologies, game design and development; to provide practitioners and interdisciplinary communities with a peer-reviewed forum to discuss the state of the art in serious games research, their ideas and theories, and innovative applications of serious games; to explain cultural, social and scientific phenomena by means of serious games; to concentrate on the interaction between theory and application; to share best practice and lessons learnt; to develop new methodologies in various application domains using games technologies; to explore perspectives of future developments and innovative applications relevant to serious games and related areas; and to establish and foster a cross-sector and cross-disciplinary network of researchers, game developers, practitioners, domain experts, and students interested in serious games. The 4 th International Conference on Serious Games Development and Applications (SGDA 2013) was hosted by SINTEF and the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) in Trondheim, Norway. SGDA 2013 appeared in the sequence of the successes of the First International Workshop on Serious Games Development and Application held in Derby in 2010, the Second International Conference on Serious Games Development and Applications held in Lisbon in 2011, and the Third SGDA conference at Bremen in The conference is supported by the European GALA Network of Excellence for Serious Games, FP7 TARGET Project, SINTEF, Glasgow School of Art, University of Bremen, BIBA-Bremen Institute for Production & Logistics, Technical University of Lisbon, INESC-ID/IST, Norwegian University of Science and Technology, University of Derby, and a number of prestigious European part-

5 VI Preface ners. This year, SINTEF and NTNU hosted the fourth annual conference (SGDA 2013) during September In all, 23 full papers, nine short papers/posters, and two invited keynotes covering a wide range of aspects of serious games design and use were presented at SGDA Speakers came from 15 countries throughout Europe and around the world, including Canada, Singapore, and Tunisia. The papers are published in the Springer LNCS series (vol. 8101). The two keynote speakers were Gael Seydoux, the New Business Development Director of Ubisoft France, and Dr. Simon McCallum, who has been working with serious games for over 10 years and is currently teaching students from first year game design to PhD course in serious games at the Gjøvik University College. We would like thank all the authors, speakers, and reviewers for their contribution to SGDA July 2013 Minhua Ma
