What is the GOAL of the track?

This special track proposes to explore the research joining artificial intelligence techniques and Games, Serious Games, and Multimedia. Accepted papers are expected to present high quality material that illustrates the broad range of exciting work in the use of artificial intelligence in Games, Serious Games, and Multimedia, with particular interest in best practice, but also underlying theories, models and technologies.

Who might be interested?

Researchers working in the following domains:

• multi-agent systems
• virtual environments for learning/training (profiling, intelligent tutoring)
• game design (game context, game mastering; games and social networks)
• game development (authoring tools, models, game process)
• behavioral models (machine learning, models, planning)
• personalization and adaptation (learner model, domain model, error model, tutoring model, machine learning)
• evaluation ( methodologies, models and metrics; assessment, game experience, effectiveness, efficiency)
• user modeling (player models, learner models)
• ...

What kind of studies will be of interest?

Papers and contributions are encouraged for any work relating to AI in Games, Serious Games, and Multimedia. Topics of interest may include (but are in no way limited to)

• Games & Entertainment
• Education
• Behavioral Model
• Machine Learning
• Planning
• Intelligent Tutoring System (ITS)
• Virtual Environments for Training (VET)
• Artificial Intelligence Education
• Entertainment
• Evaluation
• ...

Submission Guidelines

Interested authors should format their papers according to AAAI formatting guidelines. The papers should be original work (i.e., not submitted, in submission, or submitted to another conference while in review). Papers should not exceed 6 pages (4 pages for a poster) and are due by November 21, 2016. For FLAIRS-30, the 2017 conference, the reviewing is a double blind process. Fake author names and affiliations must be used on submitted papers to provide double-blind reviewing. Papers must be submitted as PDF through the EasyChair conference system, which can be accessed through the main conference web site (http://www.flairs-30.info/). Note: do not use a fake name for your EasyChair login - your EasyChair account information is hidden from reviewers. Authors should indicate the AI in Health Informatics special track for submissions. The proceedings of FLAIRS will be published by the AAAI. Authors of accepted papers will be required to sign a form transferring copyright of their contribution to AAAI. FLAIRS requires that there be at least one full author registration per paper.

Please, check the website http://www.flairs-30.info/ for further information.

Conference Proceedings

Papers will be refereed and all accepted papers will appear in the conference proceedings, which will be published by AAAI Press.
