Introduction
IEEE Conference on Games (CoG) 2022 will be held from August 21st to 24th, 2022 at Beijing, China. This
is the first time for the IEEE CIS flagship conference CoG to come to China, welcomed by the boosting game
industry and academia in China and all the world. Games not only establish one of the most profitable
industries worldwide, but also offer a general and challenging environment for the advance of Artificial
Intelligence (AI) and Computational Intelligence (CI). The annual IEEE Conference on Games (IEEE CoG)
brings together leading researchers and practitioners from academia and industry in the field of games to
discuss recent advances and explore future directions. It covers all topics in the field of games, from game
design to game intelligence and game theory, including scientific, technical, engineering and societal aspects.
Topic (All aspects of games, including, but not limited to, the following areas)
◼ Artificial/Computational Intelligence in Games
⚫ Deep learning / reinforcement learning / evolutionary
computation / fuzzy systems / multi-agent systems /
tree and graph search methods / knowledge-based
methods / artificial general intelligence in games
⚫ Real-world problem solving and decision-making
⚫ Game theory
◼ Game Design
⚫ Procedural content generation / Game balance
⚫ Automatic game design and optimization
⚫ Mixed-initiative game design
⚫ Human-AI cooperative creativity
◼ Game Technologies
Call for Tutorials
We invite submissions for tutorials to be held at IEEE CoG 2022. This is an opportunity for you to share your
expertise and influence future research directions in the CoG community. Tutorials can be on any topic in the
scope of the conference.
Call for Competitions
We invite proposals for competitions to be held at the conference. These may be completely new ones or
competitions held already in the last years, possibly at other venues. Competitions can be based on wellknown
games, but competitions based on custom-made and lesser-known games are also welcome.
Call for Special Session Proposals
A special session addresses one or more topic areas within games research and is intended to bring together
researchers working on those topics to provide an excellent session at the IEEE CoG 2022. Please read the
call for papers for CoG 2022 and its list of topics before submitting your special session proposal.
Call for Industry Talk Proposals
The industry day is an open day with topics provided by and focused on the games industry and how it links
to research in games. We welcome talk proposals from the games industry that wish to present their work on
the areas covered in this conference. We are interested in presentations about research prototypes, commercial
products, indie/mobile/AAA games, AR/VR applications, etc., as well as participation on poster sessions and
discussion panels.
Papers and Presentations (Peer-review is double-anonymous)
Full technical papers: Full papers have an 8 page limit (including references and appendices), and should
constitute a technical or empirical contribution to scientific, technical, and engineering aspects of games.
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.
Competition papers (8 pages) describe research related to one of the conference competitions, including
the design of new competitions and in particular submissions to existing competitions.
Vision papers (8 pages) describe a vision for the future of the Games field or some part of it, are based on
extensive research and include a comprehensive bibliography. Standards for competition papers are as high
as for other CoG papers, and standards for vision papers are higher.
Demo papers (2 pages) describe work in progress and will be presented during a demo session.
As with IEEE CoG 2022, we will invite the principal authors to submit an extended version of their papers
to the IEEE Transactions on Games (ToG), etc.
