[Apologies for multiple copies] Dear colleagues, The deadline for submitting your paper to EvoGAMES (and the rest of EvoApplications) is **November 1, 2018**. EvoGAMES is a thematic area of the European Conference on the Applications of Evolutionary Computation (part of EVO*, http://www.evostar.org/2019/), 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 are: - Submission Deadline: November 1, 2018 - Notification: January 3, 2019 - Camera-ready: January 15, 2019 - EVO* event: April 24-26, 2019 (Leipzig, Germany) ** TWO TYPES OF SUBMISSIONS ** This year EvoApplications is accepting two kinds of submission: full papers and short papers. Full papers require novel and complete research work and have a limit of 16 pages. Short papers should present complete research and interesting preliminary results and have a limit of 8 pages. Both types of submission will undergo the same double-blind review process and all accepted papers will be included in the LNCS proceedings. All authors of accepted papers will be given the opportunity to further disseminate their work in poster sessions. - Page limit: 8 pages (short papers) or 16 pages (full papers). - Submission format: Springer LNCS – Review process: double-blind. Please ensure to anonymize your submission. - Presentation format -- Long talks: 20 minutes + 5 min questions. Authors can optionally bring a poster to present at the poster session. -- Short talks: 10 minutes, no questions. Authors MUST also bring a poster to present at the poster session. -- Short papers are only eligible for short talks. Authors of long papers will be notified in advance of the type of presentation (short/long). - Submission link: https://myreview.saclay.inria.fr/evoapps19/ LOCATION The city of Leipzig is located in the north-east of Germany, about 160km south of Berlin. Situated at the crossing of two major medieval trading routes, Via Imperii connecting Italy with the North and Via Regia connecting East and West, it was once considered as one of the major European centers of trade, culture and learning. Today Leipzig is an easily likeable, green and young city with a rich cultural diversity. Particularly in the city center one can find many beautiful historical buildings from different architectural periods, museums and parks. Also, lovers of classical music appreciate Leipzig due to the impact of Bach and Mendelsohn-Bartholdy, who lived in the city for important parts of their lives. For more information on the conference and the tracks, please, visit the main conference website at http://www.evostar.org/2019/cfp_evoapps.php More news will also be available on the EvoGAMES blog at http://evogamesblog.wordpress.com/ We hope to see you in Leipzig! Sincerely, Julian Togelius and Alberto Tonda, the EvoGAMES area chairs. ######################################################################## To unsubscribe from the EVOLUTIONARY-COMPUTING list, click the following link: https://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/cgi-bin/webadmin?SUBED1=EVOLUTIONARY-COMPUTING&A=1
