The most powerful computers in the world are not only used for scientific research, defence, and business, but also in game playing. Computer games are a multi-billion dollar industry. Recent advances in computational intelligence paradigms have generated tremendous interest among researchers in the theory and implementation of games. Game theory is a branch of operational research dealing with decision theory in a competitive situation. Game theory involves the mathematical calculations and heuristics to optimize the efficient lines of play. This book presents a sample of the most recent...

The evolution of technologies has greatly changed the basic structure of our industry and nature of our daily lives. Industries which did not exist several decades ago have made remarkable progress in recent years and ?ourished. One of the most typical examples is the computer game industry. This book presents a sample of the most recent research concerning the application of computational intelligence techniques and internet technology in computer games. This book contains eight chapters. The ?rst chapter, by N. Baba and H. Handa, is on utilization of evolutionary algorithms to increase...
