Welcome to the homepage of the 2nd workshop on Player Modelling (PM 2016), to be held in conjunction with the Twelfth AAAI Conference on Artificial Intelligence and Interactive Digital Entertainment (AIIDE 2016). Player Modelling has always been a core research topic within the game Computational and Artificial Intelligence (CI/AI) research field. The primary focus of this workshop is on the use of CI/AI for understanding players, their actions, decisions, plans, intentions, and their cognitive, behavioural as well as affective manifestations. CI/AI can also be used for capturing, modelling and optimising the player's experience during gameplay. We argue that the ultimate direct and indirect use of player models is to assess and enhance player experience. On this basis, this workshop attempts to encourage a dialog among researchers in the AI, human-computer interaction, game design, cognitive modelling, affective computing and psychology disciplines who investigate dissimilar methodologies for improving user (player) experiences. We welcome submissions as either full papers describing novel research (6 pages) or short papers describing work in progress (4 pages). Research areas relevant to player modelling include, but are not limited to, the following: We welcome submissions as either full papers describing novel research (6 pages) or short papers describing work in progress (4 pages) plus extra one page for references. All papers should adhere to AAAI formatting. The workshop follows a single-blind review process. Papers should be submitted through EasyChair (Submit here). Detailed schedule to follow.
