Special Track Game AI at IEA/AIE 2017, June 27-30, 2017 Arras
(near Paris, France)
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).
