In conjunction with the ICCA's 8th World Computer Chess Championship
(WCCC) held during the same period, the Computer Strategy Game
Programming (CSGP) workshop intends to bring together researchers and
practitioners who are interested in computer strategy game
programming.  The objective of the workshop is to provide a discussion
platform for all interested in theoretical and applied aspects of game
programming and to promote collaboration between researchers in
academia and industry.

Papers are invited for both oral and poster presentation.  Oral
presentations will be allocated 20-30 minutes (15-25 mins for
presentation and 5 mins for questions).  Authors interested in the
above computer game programming workshop are invited to send 3 copies
of an extended abstract in English (no more than six pages containing
title, authors, and affiliations) and a cover page (containing title,
authors, affiliations, contact author, full address of the contact
author, telephone, fax number, and email of the contact author) to the
workshop coordinator listed below before April 23, 1995.  To have a
better coordination, we strongly recommend the interested authors to
fill out and submit the questionnaire form at the end of this
announcement.

You may now find the latest information on the WWW page at 

		    http://www.ie.cuhk.hk/~chess95

We are now able to accept electronic submissions.  You may upload your
manuscript to the nucleus.cs.cuhk.hk/pub/neuro/incoming directory.
After uploading you should submit an email cover letter to
king@cs.cuhk.hk describing the author's name, paper title, and the
uploaded file name.  A more detailed uploading procedure is found at
the end of this document.

Papers will be reviewed by a local committee.  Final notification of
acceptance/rejection will be emailed to authors by May 5, 1995.  All
accepted papers will be simply bound to form the workshop proceedings
