Call For Papers - CFP

Games, and especially video games, are now a financially and culturally important commercial factor within the software and entertainment industries. They provide an excellent test bed for and application of a wide range of computational intelligence methods including evolutionary computation, neural networks, fuzzy systems, swarm intelligence, and temporal difference learning. There has been a rapid growth in research in this area over the last few years.

This event focuses on new computational intelligence or biologically inspired techniques that may be of practical value for improvement of existing games or creation of new games, as well as on innovative uses of games to improve or test computational intelligence algorithms. We invite prospective participants to submit full papers following Springer’s LNCS guidelines.

Areas of Interest and Contributions

Topics include but are not limited to:

Avatars and new forms of communication between game intelligence and players

Player satisfaction measurement and optimization

(Semi-)automated game content creation

Evolutionary game theory

Human-like artificial adversaries and emotion modeling

Authentic movement, believable multi-agent control

Computational Intelligence in video games

Learning in games

Experimental methods for gameplay evaluation

Evolutionary testing and debugging of games

Games related to social, economic, and financial simulations

Educational/serious games

General game intelligence (e.g. general purpose drop-n-play Non-Player Characters, NPCs).

Publication Details

Accepted papers will appear in the proceedings of evo*, published in a volume of the Springer Lecture Notes in Computer Science, which will be available at the Conference.

Submission Details

Submissions must be original and not published elsewhere. The submissions will be peer reviewed by at least three members of the program committee. The authors of accepted papers will have to improve their paper on the basis of the reviewers’ comments and will be asked to send a camera ready version of their manuscripts. At least one author of each accepted work has to register for the conference and attend the conference and present the work.

The reviewing process will be double-blind, please omit information about the authors in the submitted paper. Submit your manuscript in Springer LNCS format.
