IEEE 2024 Conference on Games Call for Papers

COG 2024 

Call for Papers

Submission of *auxiliary* papers: April 28, 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.)

 

Please note: 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.

 

*** Full papers ***

We invite the submission of full *technical* and *vision* papers with an 8 page

limit (including references and appendices). Full *technical* papers should

provide a technical or empirical contribution to scientific, technical, or

engineering aspects of games. Full *vision* papers should describe a vision for

the future of the Games field or some part of it, be based on extensive

research, and include a comprehensive bibliography. Please notice that the

standards for vision papers are high: literature reviews and opinion papers with

speculations not grounded in research are immediately rejected. 

 

*** Auxiliary papers ***

We invite the submission of *short* and *demo* papers. *Short* papers (2-4

pages) describe work in progress, smaller projects that are not yet ready to be

published as a full paper, or new progress on projects that have been reported

elsewhere.  

*Demo* papers (2 pages) describe works to be presented during a demo session. 

 

All page limits include references and appendices.

guidelines. MS Word and LaTeX templates can be found at:

https://www.ieee.org/conferences_events/conferences/publishing/templates.html

 

All submitted papers will be fully peer-reviewed, and accepted papers will be

published in the conference proceedings and on IEEE Xplore. CoG will use a
