ACE has become the leading academic forum for dissemination of novel 
research results in the area of entertainment computing. Interactive 
entertainment is one of the most vibrant areas of interest in modern 
society and ACE is its premier forum. The goal of ACE 2010 is to 
bring together researchers and practitioners from industry and 
academia to present and discuss their work in a stimulating and 
challenging environment. This year ACE is incorporating with DIMEA 
2010 (5th Digital Interactive Media Entertainment and Arts 
Conference) and NetGames 2010 (9th Annual Workshop on Network and 
Systems Support for Games).

ACE is naturally a multi-disciplinary conference expected to attract 
people across a wide spectrum of interests and disciplines including, 
but not limited to, arts, sociology, anthropology, psychology, 
marketing, computer science and design. The goal of ACE is to 
stimulate discussion in the development and advancement of 
interactive art and entertainment applications. It, thus, strides to 
balance several interdisciplinary areas and seeks representation in 
all these areas, including, but not limited to:

  - Affective Computing
  - Animation Techniques

  - Augmented & Mixed Reality
  - Digital Cinema
  - Digital Entertainment
  - Elderly Entertainment
  - Experience Design
  - Game Production
  - Game Programming
  - Game Techniques
  - Human-Robots Interaction
  - Mobile & Ubiquitous Entertainment
  - Museum Applications
  - Novel Gaming Interfaces (Tabletop Interfaces, Tangible Interfaces)

  - Workshop Proposal
Conference workshops typically provide valuable in-depth discussions 
of specific topics in computer entertainment technology. If you are 
working in an emerging area in entertainment computing, please 
consider organizing a workshop. They are an opportunity to move a new 
field forward and build community. These workshops may consist of 
both invited and contributed papers that will highlight exciting new 
developments and currents trends of research.

-	Panel & Tutorial Proposal (submission deadline: 30 August 2010)
Tutorial proposals will be considered for half-day and full-day 
tutorials. Topics should have a direct relevance to the interest of 
ACE2010. Any other topic expected to be of special interest and 
relevance at the time of ACE2010 is also encouraged.

Panels should focus on emerging technologies, controversial issues, 
or unsolved problems in the Computer Entertainment Technology 
community to stimulate lively, thoughtful, and thought-provoking 
debate. We expect the panelists to actively engage the audience and 
help them gain a deeper understanding of the issues. The goal of a 
panel is to debate and thus panels should always reflect more than 
one point of view. 

Submissions of papers will be online on our conference website:
