polish off that coevolution paper and submit to the Special Session on
Coevolution in Games. The weather in Perth is perfect for the beach in
December!
Perth, Australia, 15-18 December 2008

University of Alberta, Penny Sweetser from 2K Games, and Jason
Hutchens from Interzone Entertainment;
in Real Time Strategy Games, Player Satisfaction, Coevolution in
Games, and Player/Opponent Modeling;
Yannakakis and Julian Togelius; and
computational intelligence techniques in games.
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. This symposium, sponsored by the IEEE
Computational Intelligence Society with technical co-sponsorship from
the IEEE Consumer Electronics Society, aims to bring together leading
researchers and practitioners from both academia and industry to
discuss recent advances and explore future directions in this field.
