We will meet at our familiar venue: the Faculty Club Helios, Kanunnikenzaal, address: Achter de Dom 7a, Utrecht.  HYPERLINK "http://www.helios.uu.nl/" http://www.helios.uu.nl/ We are very happy to welcome Sander Bakkes (Tilburg Centre for Creative Computing (TiCC), Tilburg University) who will present his recent work to us. After his presentation and the Q&A we will take some time to discuss the future meetings of our community. The program of our meeting: 15:00 Welcome (with coffee and tea) 15:15 Presentation by Sander Bakkes, Tilburg Centre for Creative Computing (TiCC). Rapid Adaptation of Video Game AI Over the last decades, modern video games have become increasingly realistic in their visual and auditory presentation. However, artificial intelligence (AI) in games has not reached a high degree of realism yet. Game AI is typically based on non-adaptive techniques. A major disadvantage of non-adaptive game AI is that once a weakness is discovered, nothing stops the human player from exploiting the discovery. The disadvantage can be resolved by endowing game AI with adaptive behaviour, i.e., the ability to adapt to game circumstances, typically by means of learning adequate game behaviour while the game is in progress. In practice, adaptive game AI in video games is seldom implemented because currently it requires numerous trials to learn effective behaviour in online gameplay (i.e., game adaptation is not rapid). In addition, game developers are concerned that applying adaptive game AI may result in uncontrollable and unpredictable behaviour (i.e., game adaptation is not reliable). The presentation addresses the investigation into what extent it is possible to establish game AI capable of adapting rapidly and reliably to game circumstances. 16:15 What will we do next, this year? Last year, the organizers and Program Ctee of this event invited you all to come up with ideas for meetings. That call resulted in some good proposals allowing us to organize a diverse set of meetings with talks as well as workshops. Today, we would like to repeat this call inviting you to share your ideas for future meetings. It is fortunate that we will have the opportunity to discuss these ideas right away during this afternoon meeting. 17:15 Drinks Participation in this meeting is free. It is necessary, though, to register on the following website:  HYPERLINK "http://gate.gameresearch.nl/index.php?pageID=105" \t "_blank" http://gate.gameresearch.nl/index.php?pageID=105 PLEASE REGISTER NOW I do hope to see you all Friday 16 October 2009.
