The GameSys workshop is still young and evolving, so we have solicited papers that might draw from a diverse breadth of game-related topics. Research areas considered by the workshop cover all aspects of networks, systems, and game technologies, as well as human and applied factors related to experience, performance, and learning. This GameSys program of this year includes works on the role of latency, audiovisual synchrony, and social context on game experiences and player performance; the use of AI for more realistic verbal communication in virtual avatars; the experience of learning an endangered language through a game; and how to infer cognitive states during gameplay from eye gaze data.
