Chief Editors
EUROSIS 2003 |
Welcome to the
third issue of this on-line journal which serves to publish state-of the-art
research and review papers dealing with artificial intelligence, simulation and
related topics in the field of computer games. The interest in
this field of research has continued to grow rapidly. The readership has seen a significant
increase and shows that the Journal has stimulated world-wide interest from game
researchers and developers. This is issue
sees the inclusion of both full technical papers and review papers, based on
the nature of the material submitted and the recommendations of the Editors. Our sponsor, EUROSIS – the European
Simulation Society , is now well-established and currently organises more
than ten international conferences around Europe, including Game-On 2003
which will take place at the IEE Headquarters, London from 19-21 November. The proposed Network
of Excellence in Digital Games, mentioned in the last issue was established
recently and an application was submitted to the EU for funding. This network now involves 24 partners
in 12 different countries and links 250 researchers across Europe. IJIGS will
become one of the major outlets for publishing the activities and finding of
the Network . Your Editors
are presently in discussion with publishers with a view to making the Journal
available in printed and CD-ROM formats. This is your journal and we hope that you will be
encouraged to submit your technical papers, survey papers and reviews for
publication. Please also
continue to give us your feedback and help to make this a journal that truly
meets your needs. It would also
be appreciated if you would spread the word about IJIGS and help to promote
it further. Norman Gough and Qas Mehdi, University
of Wolverhampton UK Chief Editors iii
