The Beijing Longlife Group is enabling the organization of the Conference
on
Computers and Games 2008 (CG2008) (28-30 July, 2008), the 16th World
Computer-Chess Championship (WCCC) (July 27 - August 3, 2008) and the 13th
Computer Olympiad (CO) (July 27 - August 3, 2008) to be held in Beijing,
China. Location: the Beijing Golden Century Golf club, Fangshan, Beijing,
China.
For the current information on the 16th WCCC and the 13th CO, see

the CG2008.
The start of the event will be on Sunday July 27, 2008 at the Beijing
Golden
Century Golf club by the President of the Beijing Longlife Group.
The conference commences on July 28 at 8.30 h and will take place on three
consecutive days, each day from 8.30 h till 12.30 h. The conference aims
in
the first place at providing an international forum for computer-games
researchers presenting new results on ongoing work. Hence, we invite
contributors to submit papers on all aspects of research related to
computers and games.
Relevant topics include, but are not limited to: (1) the current state of
game-playing programs, (2) new theoretical developments in game-related
research, (3) general scientific contributions produced by the study of
games, and (4) (adaptive) game AI. Moreover, researchers of topics such as
(5) cognitive research of how humans play games, and (6) issues related to
networked games are invited to submit their contribution as well.

Refereeing Process
The usual full refereeing process will be executed. Papers will be
refereed
by members of the Programme Committee. In practice, this means that papers
are accepted if their topic suits the conference and their overall quality
is scientifically appropriate. Accepted papers will be scheduled for
presentation during the conference and will be printed in the conference
proceedings (see below). Authors of accepted papers, or their
representatives, are expected to present their papers at the conference.
Notification of the acceptance of papers will be sent by January 20, 2008
to
the principal author. Camera-ready papers are due by February 15, 2008.
Registration Fee Early (on or before June 15, 2008) Late (after June 15,

Admission to the conference and a copy of the conference proceedings are
included in the conference registration fee as well as an excursion and
dinner.
Conference Proceedings
The Conference Proceedings will appear in the Springer Lecture Note
Series.
We aim at pre-proceedings (instead of post-proceedings). The time table is
therefore rather strict and the abstract submission is necessary to guide
the refereeing process.
The proceedings will be edited by Professor H.J. van den Herik, Professor
Xinhe Xu, Professor Zhu Shiwen, and Dr. M.H.M. Winands. Each conference
participant will receive a copy at the start of the conference.
The Programme Committee
Co-chairs: Professor H.J. van den Herik,
Professor Xinhe Xu,
Professor Zhu Shiwen,
Dr. M.H.M. Winands
The other members will be listed soon at the appropriate website.
