Creating complex AI applications and creating games involves many of the same problems. Both AI applications and games are often simulations, both must coor- dinate multiple agents, deal with real-time issues, and ensure intelligent and efficient control of the involved units. In the Experimental Knowledge Systems Laboratory, we have created a number of complex simulators. In this panel, we would like to share our experiences establishing ties to game companies, and discuss some of the issues that came up in the process.
