Workshop Description:

The two communities, planning and games, have coexisted for several
decades, but have evolved with little interaction between them. While
games programs have been engineered for efficiency from the early
days, high-performance planners are a relatively recent development.
Both planning and games are im****tant fields of research in the
Artificial Intelligence community. A trend in the computer game
community, exemplified in initiatives such as the General Game Playing
Project and ORTS, has been on playing whole cl***** of games, and on
increasing realism and complexity. This tests the limits of
traditional game-tree search approaches. However, the planning
community has a lot of experience in dealing with huge search spaces.
Furthermore, such games also involve current topics of much current
interest in planning, such as: time reasoning, resource management,
imperfect information, cost-based planning, etc.
This workshop will discuss all aspects of using planning in the domain
of games. Relevant topics include, but are not limited to:
- planning techniques for classical games
- planning in commercial computer games
- integration of planning and game tree search
- representational issues: languages for planning in games
- op****tunities for technology transfer between the communities
- competitions
- planning stories and scenarios
- planning and interactive narrative
- integrating planning and affective systems
- planning for NPCs
- dialogue planning
- reasoning about actions and game playing
- plan recognition
- learning plans
