The 1st (AIIDE-14) Workshop on Research in Cognitive-based Approaches
to Intelligent Interactive Digital Entertainment! (RCAIIDE)

====================
  About the Workshop
====================
Adhering to the idea that the fundamental criterion for the design of
interactive experiences rests in the mind of the human consumer, this
workshop aims to advance research in cognitive-focused artificial
intelligence in the context of interactive digital entertainment. The
workshop focuses on the study of intelligent interactive entertainment
from the lens of cognition.  It will bring together scholars from
diverse disciplines to discuss how cognition can be used as a
framework for informing the design of artifacts intended to elicit
specific cognitive, affective, and physiological responses.


====================
  Call for Papers
====================
We invite potential authors to submit papers relevant to
cognitive-focused challenges in and relating to the design of
interactive digital experiences. A non-exhaustive list of illustrative
workshop topics is provided below, as a guide to potential authors.


Illustrative Workshop Topics
----------------------------
- Adaptive game environments that consider cognitive and affective states
- Cognitive and affective theories, models, and analyses of player behavior
- Cognitive and affective focused design of non-player characters and stories
- Cognitive and affective load in the presence of complex interactive
environments
- Cognitive and affective player analytics
- Cognitively mediated interactive experiences
- Case studies of player behavior
- Cognitive foundations of play, interactivity, and narrative in video games
- Epistemic challenges in studying cognition in interactive game contexts
- Techniques for analyzing cognitive and affective states in
interactive game contexts


Submission and Workshop Format
----------------------------
We will accept two types of papers:

- Full Papers (up to 6 pages, plus 1 page of references)
Appropriate for describing completed or ongoing
research, including pilot studies, or studies in
progress.

- Position Papers (up to 3 pages, plus 1 page of references)
Appropriate for discussing an interesting new idea,
identifying important neglected areas or topics,
or an opinion piece.

The best reviewed submissions will be accepted, and allotted a
presentation time during the 1-day workshop. Papers must be presented
in order to be included in the proceedings. All accepted papers will
be published in a Technical Report by AAAI Press and will be archived
in the AAAI digital library. All submissions must be anonymized for
double blind review. This means that author names and affiliations
must be removed.
