As it reaches it's 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
