Conference (<b>GAMEON®'2010</b>) on Simulation and AI in Computer Games, is
to bring together researchers and games people in order to exchange ideas on

gaming industry and academia. Secondly it aims to steer young people into
this indu

to show their ideas and demos to the gaming industry. The conference will
concentrate mostly on the programming of games, with special emphasis on
simulation, AI and fuzzy sets, and physics related computer graphics. Next to
that, all of this will be fused in the topic of computer game design in
stand-alone and networked games. Software providers will be able to show
their latest packages and give hand-on tutorials for the participants. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
