Theme

This workshop was about how bots for a computer game can be made to behave like human players. It was aligned with the CEC2011 Human-like Bots competition, in which competitors programmed bots to play the FPS Unreal Tournament 2004 to make it behave like a human player, and human judges tried to tell whether they are playing bots or humans. The task is the same as that for the annual BotPrize competition.
