Competition Papers

Call for competition papers and competition participation

2011 IEEE Conference on Computational Intelligence and Games

COEX, Seoul
South Korea, August 31-September 3, 2011

http://cilab.gist.ac.kr/cig2011/?page_id=97

Following on from last year’s successful competition track, IEEE CIG
also this year invites submission for competition papers, i.e. papers
that relate to submissions to one of the competitions associated with
CIG 2011.

These papers will be fully peer-reviewed with the same stringency as
all other CIG papers and, if accepted, will be published as full
papers in the proceedings. The papers will be reviewed on a short time
schedule by a small group of dedicated reviewers, and due to the time
limits no extensions can be granted.

The main restriction is that each paper needs to describe a submission
to one of the competitions associated with CIG 2011. The focus of the
paper can be on the architecture of the submission, comparative
studies, underlying ideas etc., but the software described must enter
one of the competitions. As with regular papers, at least one author
of a successful paper needs to attend the conference and present the
paper.

For 2011, we have an exciting range of competitions open, providing a
range of challenges for CI and AI techniques (including playing
various games as well as possible, human-like playing and procedural
content generation). The following competitions are offered:

Simulated Car Racing Championship
Mario AI Championship
StarCraft competition
Ms Pac-Man Screen Capture Competition
Pac-Man vs Ghost Team Competition

Please see http://cilab.gist.ac.kr/cig2011/?page_id=100 for more
info on competitions.

Note that it is NOT necessary to submit a competition paper in order
to participate in a competition. While we encourage participants to
write papers about their entries, you can submit an entry to any of
the competitions without an accompanying paper.
