SUMMARY:Workshop "Opponent Models in Games", IKAT,
  Universiteit Maastricht
DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20031204
DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20031204
LOCATION:IKAT, Universiteit Maastricht
DESCRIPTION:Playing games is a challenging task. I
 t is even more interesting when a player anticipat
 es the behaviour of the opponent. An important tas
 k of playing games is to detect and employ weaknes
 ses in the opponent's strategy. For human players,
  it is a part of psychology to anticipate the oppo
 nent's move. For computers such things belong to t
 he domain of artificial intelligence. Obviously, m
 ost of the current game-playing computer programs 
 do not take the peculiarities of the opponent into
  account. This holds especially for computer progr
 ams that play the classical board games such as ch
 ess, go, and checkers. In other areas of computer 
 game-playing, opponent-modelling is an integral pa
 rt of the strategy, for instance in repeated games
  such as Roshambo and Poker. This workshop deals w
 ith the use of opponent models by computers in cla
 ssical board games, repeated games, and in modern 
 action games.  For more information, see http://ww
