Artificial Intelligence (AI) is playing an increasingly vital role in shaping these experiences, enabling adaptive gameplay, dynamic content generation, and the creation of intelligent non-player characters. AI not only enhances player immersion but also expands the possibilities for storytelling, accessibility, and personalized experiences. The AI4HGI workshop aims to explore the evolving role of AI in human-game interaction by addressing key research questions, including: * How AI can enhance player immersion and engagement in digital games? * How can AI contribute to adaptive storytelling and personalized player experiences? * How can AI systems balance computational efficiency with the complexity of game interactions? * How can generative AI impact game design and creativity? * How should ethical considerations such as transparency, fairness, and data privacy be addressed in AI-driven game development? In answering these questions, the AI4HGI workshop aims to provide a platform for researchers to discuss innovative solutions, share insights, and identify new research directions. By fostering dialogue at the intersection of AI and game development, the workshop seeks to advance the field and contribute to shaping the next generation of intelligent and interactive digital experiences. ====== TOPICS ====== Topics of interest include but are not limited to: - Reinforcement learning in games - Multi-agent systems in games - Procedural Content Generation - AI for game balancing and dynamic difficulty adjustment - AI-enhanced playtesting - Affective gaming - Player modeling - Gameplay dynamic adaptation - Non-Player Characters’ (NPCs) AI - AI-driven serious, educational, and persuasive games - Game-based learning - Natural language processing in games - Generative AI for game design and development - Ethical and responsible AI in games - Explainable AI in games ============ SUBMISSIONS ============ We accept the following submissions: (A) Regular papers (10-12 pages + references - single-column CEURART style) (B) Position, short papers and Demos (5-9 pages + references - single-column CEURART style); (C) Manifestations of interest (max 2 pages including a bio of the participant and a brief statement about why they are interest in the workshop) Submission site: https://easychair.org/my/conference?conf=ai4hgi All papers must be in English and they must be formatted using the single-column CEURART style format. Submitted papers will be evaluated by two members of the Program Committee through a single blind review process. We aim to publish all accepted regular, short, position papers and demos(A, B) in CEUR WS Proceedings as a joint volume. We will also consider relevant papers which were rejected from the main conference based on review transfer; to use this option, authors are invited to submit a request after rejection.

CFP [extended deadline]: CoPDA 2025 - 9th International Workshop on Cultures of Participation in the Digital Age (Extended Deadline April 4th)

by Antonio Piccinno

--------------- Call for Papers [extended deadline] --------------- CoPDA 2025 - 9th International Workshop on Cultures of Participation in the Digital Age: Sustainability Perspectives and Frameworks for Making Cultures of Participation Successful https://copda.unimi.it June 16th, 2025 - Munich, Germany In conjunction with IS-EUD 2025 (https://iseud2025.ubicomp.net) -------- Overview -------- This 9th edition of the CoPDA workshop aims to explore the intersection of sustainability and cultures of participation in diverse contexts. As participatory cultures become central to addressing complex global challenges (as defined by the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and its 17 Sustainable Development Goals), they require robust sustainability frameworks to ensure their long-term viability. This workshop will examine how environmental, social, economic, technological, and cultural sustainability principles can inform and enhance participatory systems by supporting community-driven design with end-user development. Participants will engage in interactive sessions to identify and discuss strategies for fostering evolution, adaptability, and educational innovation within cultures of participation. The participants will be able to ground, present, and highlight practical frameworks and real-world case studies, focusing on how sustainable participation can amplify collective creativity in coping with wicked problems. The workshop hopes to attract submissions from researchers and practitioners from various backgrounds and communities, such as designers and users of socio-technical environments, AI researchers, learning scientists, and educators to explore the following fundamental issues: - Identifying and integrating sustainability principles into design processes. - Supporting ongoing engagement through meta-design and digital tools. - Exploring the role of emerging technologies (specifically related to AI and LLMs) in fostering sustainable participation. - Exploring how involving users in the adaptation of design tools through EUD can help ensure these tools better support sustainability goals. - Investigating how educational programs and courses can shape visions and scenarios of sustainable communities, helping to anticipate both desired and undesired outcomes. - Examining what sustainable online communities can learn from the enduring qualities and behaviors of natural systems, like insect colonies and the climate. ----------- Submissions ----------- Authors are invited to submit a 6-page position paper using the 1-column CEUR template available at https://ceur-ws.org/Vol-XXX/CEURART.zip. An Overleaf page for LaTeX users is also available at https://www.overleaf.com/latex/templates/template-for-submissions-to-ceur-w… The papers can be submitted at: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=copda2025 All papers will be peer-reviewed by at least two members of the Program Committee.
