> Games are an ideal domain for the study of Artificial Intelligence  

> (AI) as they are not

> only fun to play and interesting to observe, but also provide  

> competitive, dynamic and

> challenging environments that model many real-world problems. With  

> entertainment and

> games becoming increasingly more intertwined into our society, e.g.  

> as witnessed by the

> fast rise of the video-game industry, the need for more socially  

> rich interactions and more

> realistic modeling in games continues to provide AI in this domain  

> with never-ending

> challenges. The study of AI in games was thus over the decades  

> expanded from being

> mainly concerned with decision making in abstract board games to a  

> highly diverse

> research field.

> This special issue of Entertainment Computing will publish high- 

> quality papers on

> Games and AI, aiming to reflect the wide spectrum of AI in game  

> research.  We invite

> quality contributions that advance the state-of-the-art in various  

> domains of Games and

> AI. Topics include, but are not limited to:
