IEEE Computational Intelligence and Games Conference 2016
20-23 September, 2016, Santorini Island, Greece
http://cig16.image.ntua.gr/
*Description*
Computer games not only offer a killer application for computational
intelligence (CI), machine learning and search but also provide a
compelling domain where problem solving and decision making meet
artifact creation; both of which can be experienced via a highly
immersive, complex and rich interaction. 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 Computational Intelligence
and Games (CIG) conference series brings together leading researchers
and practitioners from academia and industry to discuss recent
advances and explore future directions in this field.
The annual IEEE Conference on Computational Intelligence and Games
(IEEE CIG) is one of the premier international conferences in the
field of computational intelligence and games.
*Topics*
The topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
- Learning in games
- Neural-based approaches for games
- Co-evolution in games
- Fuzzy-based approaches for games
- Tree search approaches for games
- Player/Opponent modeling
- CI/AI-based game design
- CI/AI-assisted game design
- CI for player affective modeling
- Player experience
- Procedural content generation
- CI/AI for game generation
- Intelligent interactive narrative
- Character development and narrative
- CI/AI for virtual cinematography
- CI for non-player characters
- Multi-agent and multi-strategy learning
- Applications of game theory
- General game playing
- Theoretical or empirical analysis of CI techniques for games
- Comparative studies and game-based benchmarking
- Computational and artificial intelligence in (non-inclusive list):
- Console and PC games
- Board and card games
- Economic or mathematical games
- Serious games
- Realistic games for simulation or training
- Augmented and mixed-reality games
- Games for mobile platforms
- Imperfect information and non-deterministic games
- Evolutionary games
In addition to regular oral and poster presentations, the conference
will include a full program of special sessions, tutorials, and panel
sessions together with keynote talks.
*Tutorials*
Proposals for tutorials should be submitted by March 1, 2016. The
proposal should contain a one-page outline of the tutorial, the format
of presentation, a short resume of the presenter(s), and any
prerequisites for the intended audience. Tutorials are typically a
two-hour session.
*Special Sessions*
Proposals for special sessions should be submitted by March 1, 2016.
Each proposal should give a half page description of the session
topic, short biographical information about the organizers, names of
potential contributors and estimated number of submissions. Papers
submitted to special sessions will go through the normal reviewing
process.
*Panels*
Panel proposals should be submitted by March 1, 2016 and should be in
the form of a 2-page extended abstract describing the focus of the
panel, providing a list of confirmed speakers, and indicating their
areas of expertise relative to the topic. We encourage both
debate-style panels that include representatives advocating several
positions on a topic of disagreement, and emerging-area style panels
that consolidate and explain recent work on a subject of interest to
the CIG community.
**Paper submission types**
*Full papers*
Full papers should be submitted by April 15, 2016. Full papers have an
8 page limit, and should constitute a technical or empirical
contribution to CI/AI in games and be accompanied by an appropriate
evaluation of the work.
In addition to regular paper submissions the conference offers three
alternative types of paper submission: competition, vision and demo
papers.
*Competition papers*
These are regular papers (up to 8 pages) that describe one or more
entries to the competitions that are running at this year's CIG.
Competition papers need to include evaluation of the contribution,
including (if possible) results on the same benchmark as that used by
the competition, and comparison to other competition entries. Because
the problem domain is well-known, these papers can be reviewed faster
than regular papers. The same quality standards will apply to
competition papers as to regular papers. Competition papers should be
submitted by May 31, 2016.
*Vision papers*
These are regular papers (up to 8 pages) describing a vision for the
future of the field of computational intelligence and games or some
part of it. These papers need to be based on existing literature, be
well-written and well argued. In cases where a paper describes a
particular technique or domain, the paper should include a survey of
that field; all papers should include extensive bibliographies. Papers
should not revolve around any particular set of experiments, and need
not contain any new empirical results, but are encouraged to outline
ambitious future work. The quality standards applied to vision papers
are at least as high as for other conference papers. Vision papers
should be submitted by May 31, 2016.
*Demos*
Demo submissions should be in the form of a 2-page extended abstract.
The submission needs to accompany a demonstration of CI in games. The
demo event of IEEE CIG 2016 will showcase the latest CI/AI tools,
techniques, and systems created for games by academic or industrial
research groups. Demos should be submitted by May 31, 2016.
*Submission Guidelines*
All paper submissions should follow the recommended IEEE conference
manuscript format:
http://www.ieee.org/conferences_events/conferences/publishing/templates.html
*Important Dates*
March 1, 2016: Tutorials/Panels/Special Sessions proposals
March 15, 2016: Notification of Tutorials/Panels/Special Sessions acceptance
April 15, 2016: Paper submission
May 15, 2016: Notification of paper acceptance
May 31, 2016: Competition/Vision/Demo submission deadline
