EvoGames: 2nd European event on Bio-inspired Algorithms in Games,
Istanbul, 7th - 9th April 2010

http://dces.essex.ac.uk/research/evostar/EvoGAMES.htm

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.

Submision Deadline: 
4th November 2009

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).
