The Seventh Artificial Intelligence for Interactive Digital Entertainment Conference

Please Join Us for AIIDE-11!

AAAI is delighted to announce that the Seventh Artificial Intelligence for Interactive Digital Entertainment Conference (AIIDE-11) will be held October 11–14, 2011 at Stanford University, Stanford, California. Please mark your calendars now for AIIDE-11, and feel free to contact us at aiide11@aaai.org with any inquiries.

AIIDE-11 will consist of two tracks, the Research Track and the Industry Track. Research Track papers will describe AI research results that make advances towards solving known game AI problems or enabling a new form of interactive digital entertainment. The Industry Track will include presentations of AI techniques, issues, or case studies from the perspective of implementing a product in the current commercial environment.

AIIDE-11 will also feature a Demo program where researchers and practitioners will share insights and cutting-edge results from a wide range of topics with demonstrations.

New in 2011!

New in 2011, AIIDE will offer one-day workshops to be held on October 11. Workshop participants will have the opportunity to meet and discuss issues with a selected focus, providing an informal setting for active exchange among researchers, developers, and users on topics of current interest. Workshop papers will be published as technical reports and will be archived in the AAAI Digital Library.

The Conference Venue

Stanford columns

Stanford is one of the world's leading research and teaching institutions. Located next to Palo Alto, California, the university built its international reputation through top programs in business, engineering, and the sciences, spawning such companies as Hewlett-Packard, Cisco Systems, VMware, Yahoo!, Google, and Sun Microsystems. It is therefore quite fitting that this university be the site of AIIDE-11. The campus is conveniently located about equidistant between the San Francisco International and Mineta San Jose International Airports in the heart of Silicon Valley. Just minutes from campus is downtown Palo Alto, noted for tree-lined streets, charming restaurants, and unique shops. Adjacent to the University is the open-air Stanford Shopping Center.

AAAI has reserved a small block of rooms at area hotels convenient to the conference site. For complete information, directions, and maps for visiting Stanford, please see Stanford's web site. Please make your plans now to join us in Palo Alto! More…
