Context
Among numerous possibles applications of Artificial Intelligence, games
are convenient and efficient testbeds to develop innovating techniques
and methods. By games, we mean every game playable through a computer:
video games, board games, serious games, etc.
Behind the fun side, games propose a simplified environment regarding to
the real world, while remaining rich enough to also propose
scientifically pertinent problems: understanding of a dynamic
environment, knowledge extraction, decision-making upon incomplete
information, planning, cooperation, learning or mimicking credible
behaviors, optimization, path-finding, etc.
Many of these problems are common to others research fields such as
robotics, but games offer a greater flexibility: thanks to their
dematerialized nature, these environments are inexpensive,
transportable, need no physical maintenance and propose a highly
controllable time flow (accelerated, paused, etc).
Scope
Topics of interest for this special track on Game AI include, but are
not limited to:
* Planning;
* Decision-making in a dynamic and/or incomplete information environment;
* Data-mining;
* CSP/SAT, combinatorial optimization;
* Cooperative or competitive multi-agent systems;
* Game rules and/or behaviors learning;
* Spacial and temporal reasoning;
* Credible behaviors (emotion, personality), player immersion;
* Storytelling generation;
* User experience;
* Path-finding;
* Game play programming;
* Engine programming;
* Serious games/applications, Game with A Purpose (GWAP).
