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
