[rede.APPIA] DEADLINE EXTENDED – CFP -Artificial Intelligence for Games (AI4G’19) Track of EPIA’19

Alberto Manuel Brandão Simões
===> DEADLINE EXTENDED – 30th APRIL

*********** CALL FOR PAPERS ***********

Artificial Intelligence for Games (AI4G’19) Track of EPIA’19

AI4G 2019 will be held at the 18th Portuguese Conference on
Artificial Intelligence (EPIA 2019) taking place at Vila Real,Portugal, from

3rd to 6th September, 2019.  The call for papers of EPIA’19 and all information
about other tracks can be found at the EPIA URL:

Playing games has been considered a relevant task for AI research since
the very inception of the field. Some of the AI accomplishments have been
based on solving Games like Checkers, Chess and Go. Often, competitions
based on games are organized to foster the research on AI and define
frameworks for comparison of work. One example is the General Game Playing
that challenges AI players to play and win games they do not know beforehand.
Games can also be the base of research on computational creativity. The procedural
design of new levels for games or the design of complete games with novel gameplay
has been an interesting challenge. The generation of game content has been
addressed in the sense of story creation and interactive storytelling as well, which is
one of the very promising fields of research on AI for games, and one that attracts the
interest of the game development industry. Finally, the social nature of games, and in
particular of videogames, present good scenarios for exploring the social skills of AI
agents, in particular by interacting with humans. This thematic track brings together leading researchers to discuss recent advances and explore future directions in the applied field of
Artificial Intelligence for Games.
