A somewhat belated response to questions about the ICGA Journal. My apologies: I was in NY. The ICGA website, http://www.icga.org, gives full information about the ICGA Journal (ICGA_J), and how to support the ICGA as a member or sponsor. Your support and continued support is very welcome as we wish to financially underpin the ICGA's aims, objectives and planned activities for five years ahead. The ICGA Journal is issued to members and sold on order. Back copies reduce in number by definition, and some are now 'sold out'. It typically has 60 available for contributions in addition to 4 'template pages'. The ICGA Journal welcomes quality articles from wherever/whoever on all aspects of computer gaming. 'Game domains' have longtime been used to model real-world scenarios in a simple and safe way, and results in computer-gaming often translate into other important applications. Different games present different computational and 'AI' challenges, and lead to different techniques being demonstrated. The ICGA_J has published articles on: Amazons, Awari, Backgammon, Bridge, Checkers, (Western) Chess, Chinese_Chess, Domineering, Fairy Chess [Generalised Knights], Go, Go-Moku, Kalah, Lines_of_Action, Losing Chess, International Draughts, Octi, Roshambo, Shogi ... and I'm sure I forgot a few. As Rob Hyatt said, and as www.icga.defines, articles should be submitted to the ICGA - via info@icga.org. Word 7 or LaTeX formats preferred. They are then sent to three referees who report back to the editor and author. Speaking as a sometime referee and one-time guest-editor, ICGA looks for: - something of interest to some/many of ICGA's members - a straightforward account on some event, theory and/or experiment clear, sound logic, backed up by evidence in the case of experiment - a degree of originality in the full context of what has gone before - reasonable writing style in English, to (eventually) ICGA house-style ICGA will shortly be putting more about its ICGA_J house-style on the ICGA website. There are many aspects of this that authors can painlessly get right in the first draft, although this is not a priority. Looking forward to support and contributions from CCC members, Best Regards, Guy Haworth ICGA VP (and website editor)
