Dear colleagues,
The deadline for submitting your paper to EvoGAMES (and the rest of Evo*) is approaching (November 1st, 2018).

EvoGAMES is a track of the European Conference on the Applications of Evolutionary Computation (part of Evo*, http://www.evostar.org/2018/), focused on the applications of bio-inspired algorithms in games.

The areas of interest for the track include, among others:
  - Computational Intelligence in video games
  - Intelligent avatars and new forms of player interaction
  - Player experience measurement and optimization
  - Procedural content generation
  - Human-like artificial adversaries and emotion modelling
  - Authentic movement, believable multi-agent control
  - Experimental methods for gameplay evaluation
  - Evolutionary testing and debugging of games
  - Adaptive and interactive narrative and cinematography
  - Games related to social, economic, and financial simulations
  - Adaptive educational, serious and/or social games
  - General game intelligence (e.g. general purpose drop-n-play Non-Player Characters, NPCs)
  - Monte-Carlo tree search (MCTS)
  - Affective computing in Games

Important dates:
  - Submission deadline: November 1st, 2018
  - Evo* event: April 4th-6th, 2018 (Parma, Italy)

Page limit: 16 pages.

Submissions must be original and not published elsewhere. They will be peer reviewed by members of the program committee. The reviewing process will be double-blind, so please omit information about the authors in the submitted paper. Submit your manuscript in Springer Lecture Notes in Computer Science format. Please provide up to five keywords in your Abstract. The accepted submissions will be included in the proceedings of Evo*, published in a volume of the Springer LNCS series.
