Welcome to CGAMES 2013 International Computer Games Conference, now in its 12th year, is acknowledged as one of the leading research conferences devoted to advancing the theory and practice of computer games development. It is organised by the University of Wolverhampton, UK, in association with the University of Louisville and the IEEE TCSIM Computer Society.

Thanks to the enthusiasm and hard work put in by our international colleagues and sponsors each year the conference has flourished.



The International Conference on Computer Games: AI, Animation, Mobile, Educational & Serious Games organised by The University of Wolverhampton, UK, brings together an international community of experts to discuss the state-of-the-art in computer games research, perspectives of future developments and innovative applications relevant to games development and related areas. Past conferences have attracted hundreds of participants from the industry and the academia from around the globe cgames.org

We are delighted to announce that the 18th Conference will take place at the Galt House Hotel, Louisville. Louisville offers magnificent views of the Ohio River and is within walking distance of many attractions in downtown Louisville. Louisville is located on the Ohio River and is known for its great park system developed by Olmstead who planned Central Park in New York. It is also noted as the home of Churchill Downs and the Kentucky Derby. There is a statue of King Louis XVI in front of our court house, for which the city was originally named. Kentucky is also one of the most scenic states in the United States, with its rolling hills, horse farms, large cave system, forests and other historic attractions. Louisville also has access across the river to the beauties of Southern Indiana.
The main aim of the conference is to bring together researchers, games developers, sound, graphics, video, and animation developers, education and training industry from around the world to exchange ideas on design methods, research and development, and development methodologies that are beneficial to the computer games industry and the academia. For each event the theme has been chosen to reflect the major changes in the way in which digital games are developed and played.

The conference endeavours to help new researchers and MSc/PhD research students to present their work to their peers and experts in the field in order to improve the quality of their work in this exciting subject area.

The quality of submitted papers has been maintained to a high standard by having them reviewed by our international reviewers who have been delighted with the work produced by the authors. The best papers will be reviewed for possible inclusion in the International Journal of Intelligent Games & Simulation (IJIGS). This conference has flourished through the enthusiasm and hard work put in by our international colleagues and sponsors.

The conference will cover, but is not restricted to, the following topics.

  • Tools and Systems for Games and Virtual Reality
  • Game AI
  • Simulation, Graphics & Visualisation
  • Serious Games & Games for Research
  • Social and Humanities Aspects of Games
  • Online Games and Distributed Simulation, Multi-user, Mobile Games, and Security
  • Future Games
  • Emerging Games Platforms, Technologies and Applications
  • Inclusive Areas
  • Game Design and Simulation
