The SVIT Research Group has been awarded the Best Video Presentation Award at the 2nd Happy Hour of the Research Network in Artificial Intelligence Applied to the Software Development Process (AI4Software).
The AI4Software is a Spanish national network that brings together different research groups and companies dedicated to applying artificial intelligence techniques in software engineering. This effort is framed in the context of the development and improvement of tools and processes for the creation of software through the use of AI, covering aspects such as automation, optimization and improvement in the quality of software development.
The award was given to researchers Mar Zamorano, África Domingo, Carlos Cetina, Federica Sarro, José Ignacio Trasobares, Samuel Navarro, and Ana Marcén Terraza for their work:
“Game Software Engineering: A Controlled Experiment Comparing Automated Content Generation Techniques”
Our video was presented on March 12, 2025, and competed with other works from research groups within the same network. In the end, our work won the award, standing out for its quality and contribution to the field of software engineering for video games and the comparison of automated content generation techniques.
This works conducts an empirical evaluation of two approaches for automatic content generation in video games: Procedural Content Generation (PCG) and Reuse-based Content Generation (RCG). Through a controlled experiment with 44 participants, including professional developers and players, the quality of the generated content was assessed based on specific video game aspects such as design, difficulty, fun, and immersiveness. The results suggest that content generated by RCG is perceived as higher quality than that generated by PCG, challenging the common view that reusing content is undesirable. This finding opens new possibilities for content generation research, indicating that RCG could be a viable and favorable option for both developers and players.
This recognition reinforces the impact of our research and the team’s commitment to innovation in artificial intelligence and software development.
