Milan, Italy

Call for Competition, Workshop, and Tutorial Proposals
Submission deadline: January 21, 2024

The annual IEEE Conference on Games (IEEE CoG) aims to be a leading venue for researchers and practitioners to exchange ideas and novel approaches to bring innovation in and through games. Games are a great domain to study and develop novel ideas in design, artificial intelligence, human-computer interaction, psychology, education, sociology, and creativity, as well as their applications in real-world problems. IEEE CoG 2024 will take place at Politecnico di Milano, which is located in Milan, Italy.

We invite contributions related to all game aspects, including, but not limited to:

- Accessibility and inclusivity in games
- Game design (frameworks, game mechanics, etc.)
- Game technology (game engines, graphics, audio, animation, physics, networking, controls, etc.)
- Player-Computer Interfaces
- Generative AI for games
- Serious/applied games (for health, sustainability, etc.)
- Extended reality (virtual reality, mixed reality, and augmented reality)
- Esports and live-streaming
- Games for education, learning and development
- Game editors and authoring tools
- Game User Research (player/opponent modeling, player experience studies, psychology of play and player types, etc.)
- Game-playing AI
- Games as test-beds for algorithms
- Game analytics, game data science, and data visualization
- AI for game development (automated playtesting, adaptation/personalization in games, etc.)

CoG is not a conference about game theory and does not accept papers about game theory unless they are applied to games people would play, such as video games or board games.

*** Workshops ***
Workshops are a fantastic platform for fostering visions, idea-sharing, and nurturing emerging or interdisciplinary research areas. Accepted workshops will be part of CoG (attendees will have to register for the conference) and are expected to be half-day events, though shorter or longer workshops will be considered. Workshop organizers will manage a dedicated event webpage, promote a call for participation, and coordinate the peer review of submitted papers to the workshop. Please notice that workshop papers will be part of the auxiliary track of CoG and will be published in the conference proceedings if accepted. Workshops may also feature panel discussions, demonstrations, and interactive sessions. Finally, at least one of the organizers will be required to attend CoG 2024 to run the workshop.

*** Competitions ***
Competitions can focus on various topics within the scope of CoG such as playing games, generation, recommendations, modeling, analytics, and data visualization. They are often based on well-known games but competitions based on custom-made and lesser-known games are also welcome. Organizers must define clear rules and scoring objectives. Competition participants may submit a competition paper as part of the auxiliary track of CoG that once accepted will be published in the conference proceedings. Responsibilities include managing a dedicated webpage and promoting the competition timeline and participation. Finally, at least one of the organizers of the competition will be required to attend CoG 2024 to present the results.

*** Tutorials ***
Tutorials are an opportunity to share your expertise and influence future research in the CoG community. Typically lasting 1.5 hours, we are open to considering longer sessions. At least one of the organizers will be required to attend CoG 2024 to give the tutorial.

*** Submission Instructions ***
Your proposal should include:
- Title of the workshop/competition/tutorial
- Organizers' names, contacts, and affiliations
- Detailed description of the event
- Links to previous editions (if applicable)
- Any other relevant information

Submit your 2-page max proposal in PDF format to ieeecog2024 at gmail.com by January 21, 2024.

*** Important Dates ***
- Proposal submission deadline: January 21, 2024
- Notification of acceptance: February 4, 2024
- Submission of auxiliary papers: April 28, 2024

We look forward to having you join us at CoG 2024 in Milan.

Best regards,

The Organizing Committee of IEEE CoG 2024
