     ACS NSW AISIG - Artificial Intelligence - Monthly Meeting

Date: Wednesday 26th April 2000.

Time: 6:30pm till 8:00pm & dinner afterwards.

Topic: AI and Interactive Games

     This will be an informal talk on AAAI's Symposium at Stanford
     University that I attended last month. The symposium brings
     together game developers and academics. The focus was on the
     varying levels of AI used in these games, problems they had to
     design around and AI techniques that was most useful to them.
     Currently games is 'the reason' why people buy new machines and
     game developers need tools to develop autonomus characters
     easily.  I will also mention one of the projects going on at
     Xerox Parc and the dot-com craze going on where everybody is a
     part of a startup.
