On the 6th of September
2017, I published a co-authored paper at the 9th International Conference on
Virtual Worlds and Games for Serious Applications (VS-Games 2017), which was
held in Athens, Greece. The paper was entitled "A Serious Game for
Understanding Ancient Seafaring in the Mediterranean Sea".
The paper presents a serious game
which aims to provide better insight and understanding of seaborne trade
mechanisms and seafaring practices in the eastern Mediterranean during the
Classical and Hellenistic periods. The game incorporates probabilistic geospatial
analysis of possible ship routes through the re-use and spatial analysis from
open GIS maritime.
