[humaine news] 2010 IEEE CIG - Extended Deadline - March, 31

[Georgios N. Yannakakis]

Due to numerous requests, we have decided to extend the submission
deadline for the 2010 IEEE Conference on Computational Intelligence and
Games (CIG).

The new paper submission deadline is *** March 31, 2010 ***. Decision
notification and camera-ready deadlines will not be affected.

CIG 2010 will take place Center for Computer Games Research, IT University
of Copenhagen,

DESCRIPTION
===========

Games have proven to be an ideal domain for the study of computational
intelligence as not only are they fun to play and interesting to observe,
but they provide competitive and dynamic environments that model many
real-world problems. Additionally, methods from computational intelligence
promise to have a big impact on game technology and development, assisting
designers and developers and enabling new types of computer games. The
2010 IEEE Conference on Computational Intelligence and Games aims to bring
together leading researchers and practitioners from academia and industry
alike to share the latest advances in computational intelligence as
applied to games.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:

   * Learning in games
   * Coevolution in games
   * Neural-based approaches for games
   * Fuzzy-based approaches for games
   * Player/Opponent modeling in games
   * CI/AI-based game design
   * Multi-agent and multi-strategy learning
   * Applications of game theory
   * Procedural content generation
   * CI for Player Affective Modeling
   * Intelligent Interactive Narrative
   * Imperfect information and non-deterministic games
   * Player satisfaction and experience in games
   * Theoretical or empirical analysis of CI techniques for games
   * Comparative studies and game-based benchmarking
   * Computational and artificial intelligence in:
         o Video games
         o Board and card games
         o Economic or mathematical games
         o Serious games
         o Augmented and mixed-reality games
         o Games for mobile platforms

The conference will consist of a single track of oral presentations,
tutorial and special sessions, and live competitions. The proceedings will
be placed in IEEE Xplore, and made freely available on the conference
website after the conference.
