H.J. van den Herik and P. Ciancarini
Maastricht, The Netherlands / Bologna, Italy
The 5th Conference on Computer and Games (CG2006) will be held in Torino, Italy, in conjunction with the 14^th World Computer-Chess Championship and the 11^th Computer Olympiad. This time these events will be co-hosted with the human FIDE Chess Olympics, to be held in Torino between May 25 and June 4, 2006.
The conference commences on May 29 at 8.30 h and will take place on three consecutive days, each day from 8.30 h till 12.30 h. The conference aims in the first place at providing an international forum for computer-games researchers presenting new results on ongoing work. The recent successes of the Computer and Games conferences have encouraged the organizers to widen their scope and therefore we have reserved a special session for Robotic Pool, Snooker as well as for commercial games. Hence we invite contributors to submit papers on all aspects of research related to computers and games.
Relevant topics include, but are not limited to: (1) the current state of game-playing programs, (2) new theoretical developments in game-related research, (3) general scientific contributions produced by the study of games. Also researchers on topics such as (4) social aspects of computer games, (5) cognitive research of how humans play games, and (6) issues related to networked games are invited to submit their contribution.
