 **** IEEE CIG Special Session: Player Satisfaction - CALL FOR PAPERS ***** 
		(Apologies for multiple postings)

We are very pleased to announce the Special Session on "Player Satisfaction" in conjunction with the IEEE Symposium on Computational Intelligence and Games (CIG) 2008 (http://www.csse.uwa.edu.au/cig08/), December 15-18, Perth, Australia

For more information please visit:
http://www.csse.uwa.edu.au/cig08/specialSessions.html

Special session papers will follow the CIG'08 conference submission and formatting guidelines and will not exceed 8 pages in IEEE format. Please indicate the Player Satisfaction Special Session field when submitting your paper.

Paper submission deadline: August 15, 2008.

Special Session Description:

CIG'08 special session on Player Satisfaction will be the third event 
in a series started with two successful workshops in the field: 
The first workshop on Adaptive Approaches for Optimizing Player 
Satisfaction in Computer and Physical Games in conjunction with 
the Simulation of Adaptive Behavior (SAB) conference in 2006 
and the workshop on Optimizing Player Satisfaction held on July 
6-8, 2007, in conjunction with the Artificial Intelligence and 
Interactive Digital Entertainment (AIIDE-07) conference sponsored by AAAI. 

Our objective for holding this special session at CIG?08 is to 
initiate/boost the game AI community's and game developers? interest 
on the study, development and evaluation of methodologies for 
modeling and augmenting player satisfaction. An additional goal 
of the event is to encourage a dialog among researchers in 
AI, human-computer interaction, affective computing and psychology 
disciplines who investigate dissimilar methodologies for 
improving game-play experiences. Furthermore, we expect this 
event to yield a better understanding of state-of-the-art approaches 
for improving player satisfaction in games.

Research areas relevant to Player Satisfaction include, but are not limited to, the following:
Player Satisfaction Modeling: 
o Empirical Models
o Psychological Models
o Cognitive Models
o Affective Models
Optimizing Player Satisfaction
o CI approaches
o Adaptive learning

 Important Dates:

 August 15, 2008:    Paper submissions
 September 15, 2008: Decision Notification
 October 15, 2008:   Camera-ready submission
 December 15, 2008: Symposium start
