International Conference on Application and Development of Computer Games in the 21st Century 22 - 23 November 2001, Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, China Call for Paper / Participation Computer game development is a fast growing industry, which utilises the cutting edge technology in computer graphics, artificial intelligence, human computer interaction and programming. With the emergence of the technology in recent years, it changed the way of playing games and made it possible for many players to play over the Internet.
