Conference Aim:
The aim of the 17th annual European GAMEON® Conference (GAMEON®’2016) on Simulation and AI in Computer Games, is to bring together researchers and games people in order to exchange ideas on programming and programming techniques, which will be beneficial to the gaming industry and academia. Secondly it aims to steer young people into this industry by providing how-to tutorials and giving them the opportunity to show their ideas and demos to the gaming industry. The conference will concentrate mostly on the programming of games, with special emphasis on simulation, AI and fuzzy sets, and physics related computer graphics. Next to that, all of this will be fused in the topic of computer game design in stand-alone and networked games.

Software providers will be able to show their latest packages and give hand-on tutorials for the participants.

Companies will also have the opportunity to seek new talent at this nique event.

Keynotes:
The first keynote is already announced: Games with Morality by Luis Moniz Pereira, Universidade Nova de Lisboa and Miguel Calejo, InterProlog Consulting

Tutorials:
Tutorials can be proposed in the following three categories:

  • T1- Introductory Tutorials
  • T2- State of the Art Tutorials
  • T3- Software and Modelware Tutorials

Tutorial proposals should be emailed to Philippe.Geril@eurosis.org, by indicating the type of tutorial you would like to suggest. (T1, T2 or T3) before APRIL 1, 2016. A confirmation email will be sent to verify that the proposal was received.

All submissions will be peer reviewed by at least three members of the International Program Committee. Accepted papers will be published in the conference Proceedings (both print and electronic format), that will be copyrighted and widely disseminated.

Contributions to the technical program are solicited in the following general areas;

Conference Themes: 
The conference will cover five core tracks and a number of peripheral tracks

Core Tracks

  • Game Development Methodology
  • Game Theory – Multi-Agent Systems
  • Gamification and Social Game Mechanics
  • Artificial Intelligence
  • Physics and Simulation

For more info and details see: http://www.eurosis.org/cms/index.php?q=node/3383

Workshops:
Workshops on gaming, AI, simulation or software topics can be proposed by April 1st, 2016.

Poster Session:
The poster session only features work in progress. Next to the actual poster presentation, these submissions also feature as short papers in the Proceedings.

Student Session:
This session is for students who want to present their work in progress or part of their doctoral thesis as a paper. Student papers are denoted by the fact that only the name of the student appears on the paper as an author. They are published as short papers in the Proceedings.

Diverse Activities:
For demonstrations, tutorials or video sessions, please contact EUROSIS. Partners for projects session(s) will be organised by EUROSIS to give potential project teams or individuals the opportunity to present their research in order to link up with fellow researchers for future research projects. Those wishing to participate in this session need to send a proposal to EUROSIS.

Exhibition:
A special exhibition will be held during the conference focused on gaming applications. For more information please contact EUROSIS for further details <Philippe.Geril@eurosis.org>
