Generative Design in Minecraft (GDMC), Settlement Generation Competition
This paper introduces the settlement generation competition for Minecraft,
the first part of the Generative Design in Minecraft challenge. The settlement
generation competition is about creating Artificial Intelligence (AI) agents
that can produce functional, aesthetically appealing and believable settlements
adapted to a given Minecraft map - ideally at a level that can compete with
human created designs. The aim of the competition is to advance procedural
content generation for games, especially in overcoming the challenges of
adaptive and holistic PCG. The paper introduces the technical details of the
challenge, but mostly focuses on what challenges this competition provides and
why they are scientifically relevant.Comment: 10 pages, 5 figures, Part of the Foundations of Digital Games 2018

Prototyping Futures
Prototyping Futures gives you a glimpse of what collaborating with academia might look like. Medea and its co-partners share their stories about activities happening at the research centre – projects, methods, tools, and approaches – what challenges lie ahead, and how these can be tackled. Examples of highlighted topics include: What is a living lab and how does it work? What are the visions behind the Connectivity Lab at Medea? And, how can prototyping-methods be used when sketching scenarios for sustainable futures? Other topics are: What is the role of the body when designing technology? What is collaborative media and how can this concept help us understand contemporary media practices? Prototyping Futures also discusses the open-hardware platform Arduino, and the concepts of open data and the Internet of Things, raising questions on how digital media and connected devices can contribute to more sustainable lifestyles, and a better world
