As it reaches its 8th edition, ACE has become the leading scientific forum
for dissemination of cutting-edge research results in the area of
entertainment computing. Interactive entertainment is one of the most
vibrant areas of interest in modern society and is amongst the fastest
growing industries in the world. ACE 2011 will bring together leading
researchers and practitioners from academia and industry to present their
innovative work and discuss all aspects and challenges of interactive
entertainment technology, in a cool and stimulating environment.
ACE is by nature a multi-disciplinary conference, therefore attracting
people across a wide spectrum of interests and disciplines including
computer science, design, arts, sociology, anthropology, psychology, and
marketing. The main goal of ACE is to stimulate discussion in the
development of new and compelling entertainment computing and interactive
art concepts and applications. All ACE participants are encouraged to

such materials are strongly encouraged if they strengthen the results of the
contribution.
- Tutorials
Tutorial proposals will be considered for half-day and full-day tutorials.
Topics should have a direct relevance to the interest of ACE2011.
- Game Competition
The ACE2011 game contest is a worldwide competition. It emphasizes the
engineering aspects of game development, not limited to programming. Teams
submit software products, covering the whole software development process.
After a careful evaluation carried out by the Program Committee, several
finalist teams will be invited to ACE 2011 in Lisbon to present and
demonstrate their projects.
