Preface
The Intelligent Virtual Agents conference started in 1999 in Salford in Manchester, UK. It was a biannual event: in 2001, the conference was held in Madrid, Spain; in 2003 in Irsee, Germany; in 2005 on Kos, Greece. Since IVA 2006 held in Marina del Rey, California, USA, the conference has become an annual event. Intelligent Virtual Agents (IVAs) are autonomous, graphically embodied agents in an interactive, 2D or 3D virtual environment. They are able to interact intelligently with the environment, other IVAs, and especially with human users. The conference is an interdisciplinary forum for researchers and practitioners in computer graphics, animation, computer games, virtual environments, artificial intelligence, natural language processing, cognitive modeling, human – computer interaction and artificial
