SYNTHESIS LECTURES ON ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE A...

General game players are computer systems able to play strategy games based solely on formal
game descriptions supplied at runtime (n other words  they don't know the rules until the game
starts). Unlike specialized game players  such as Deep Blue  general game players cannot rely
on algorithms designed in advance for specific games  they must discover such algorithms
themselves. General game playing expertise depends on intelligence on the part of the game
player and not just intelligence of the programmer of the game player. GGP is an interesting
application in its own right. It is intellectually engaging and more than a little fun. But it
is much more than that. It provides a theoretical framework for modeling discrete dynamic
systems and defining rationality in a way that takes into account problem representation and
complexities like incompleteness of information and resource bounds. It has practical
applications in areas where these features are important  e.g.  in business and law. More
fundamentally  it raises questions about the nature of intelligence and serves as a laboratory
in which to evaluate competing approaches to artificial intelligence. This book is an
elementary introduction to General Game Playing (GGP). (1) It presents the theory of General
Game Playing and leading GGP technologies. (2) It shows how to create GGP programs capable of
competing against other programs and humans. (3) It offers a glimpse of some of the real-world
applications of General Game Playing.
