The 2006 IEEE Symposium on Computational Intelligence and Games (CIG06) will be held on the University of Nevada, Reno campus in Reno/Lake Tahoe from the 22nd to the 24th of May, 2006.

Computer games model many interesting real-world problems and provide a fun, scalable, virtual environment for artificial intelligence research. The Reno/Lake Tahoe area provides a fun, diverse, real-world environment for game playing research. This symposium aims to bring together leading researchers and practitioners in computational intelligence, games, and related areas. The symposium will include live competition sessions for both simulated and real-world games. Like last year, we plan a single track for presentations and there will be a poster session. Proceedings will be published by IEEE.

This is the second symposium in a series. The first symposium (CIG05) was held in the UK and the next one (the third) will be in Hawaii. CIG06 aims to bring together leading researchers and practitioners in research areas including but not limited to the following:

Theoretical or empirical analysis of evolutionary algorithms and representations
Board games (e.g. Checkers, Go, Chess)
Imperfect information / non-deterministic games (e.g. Bridge, Poker, Backgammon, Cribbage)
Games involving control of physical objects (e.g. Remote Control Car racing)
Games with simulated physics
3D computer and console games
Modeling, simulation, and training games
Prey / Predator games (e.g. Pacman)
Results of open competitions
Software game frameworks
Game protocols (e.g. protocols for game-playing over the web)
"Real World" games (e.g share trading, portfolio management)
CI games for mobile platforms (e.g. phones, PDAs)
CI games for digital platforms (e.g. digital TV's)
CI for console games (e.g. Quake)
Neural approaches to game playing
Co-evolutionary approaches to game playing
Other AI approaches to game playing
Comparative studies: e.g. neural / fuzzy / evolutionary / symbolic approaches to designing game players.
Applications of game theory

The symposium will include live competition sessions for both simulated and real-world games. There will be a poster session and the proceedings will be published by IEEE .
