ACE is a leading forum for the dissemination of cutting-edge research in 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. In the past decade ACE has become the leading scientific forum for dissemination of cutting-edge research results in the area of entertainment computing. In 2015 ACE 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 vibrant, exciting, cultural, and stimulating environment.

Going beyond established paradigms in computer science, design, arts, sociology, anthropology, psychology, and marketing, ACE is by nature a multi-disciplinary conference. 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 present work they believe will shape the future, going beyond the established paradigms, and focusing on all areas related to interactive entertainment.
