Intelligent Digital Games for Empowerment and Inclusion an Introduction

Digital Games for Empowerment and Inclusion possess the potential to change our society in a most positive way by preparing selected groups in a playful and fun way for their everyday life's social and special situations. The current generation of such games thereby increasingly demands for computational intelligence algorithms to help analyze players' behavior and monitor their motivation and interest to adapt game progress. Intelligent Digital Games for Empowerment and Inclusion (IDGEI) focus in particular on such games in connection with machine intelligence and its inclusion in digital serious games. In this introduction and in this context, we summarize the rst international workshop on IDGEI held at Foundations of Digital Games (FDG) 2013.
