However, the technologies used in game engines and multi-agent platforms are not readily compatible due to some inherent differences in concerns. Where game engines focus on real-time aspects and thus propagate efficiency and central control, multi-agent platforms assume autonomy of the agents. Increased autonomy and intelligence may offer benefits for a more compelling gameplay and may even be necessary for serious games. However, problems occur when current game design techniques are used to incorporate state-of-the-art multi-agent system technology. A very similar argument can be given for agent-based (social) simulation. This volume contains the papers presented at AGS 2009, the First International Workshop on Agents for Games and Simulations, held in Budapest on May 11, 2009. The focus of the workshop was on the particular challenges facing those using agent technology for games and simulations, with topics covering the technical, conceptual and design aspects of the field Analysis algoritmen algorithms computeranalyse computer analysis wiskunde mathematics simulatiemodellen simulation models computerwetenschappen computer sciences kunstmatige intelligentie artificial intelligence computational science datamining data mining logica logic Information and Communication Technology (General) Informatie- en communicatietechnologie (algemeen) Notes "AGS 2009, The First International Workshop on Agents for Games and Simulations held on May 11 in Budapest"--Preface Bibliography Includes bibliographical references and index Notes English Print version record In Springer - LINK Subject Multiagent systems -- Congresses Artificial intelligence -- Congresses Video games -- Congresses Computer simulation -- Congresses Informatique.
