> Interactive Entertainment is one of the fastest growing industries
> in the world. In 1996, the U.S. entertainment software industry
> reported $2.6 billion in sales revenue; this figure has more than
> tripled in 2007, yielding $9.5 billion in revenues. In addition,
> gamers, the target market for interactive entertainment products,
> are now reaching beyond the traditional 8-34 old male target
> demographic to include women, Hispanics, and African Americans. This
> pattern has been observed in several markets, including Japan,
> China, Korea, and India. Thus, interactive entertainment is becoming
> part of our everyday life, impacting our thinking, society and
> culture in many ways.
>
> ACE has become the leading academic forum for dissemination of novel
> research results in the area of entertainment computing. This year
> for the first time it incorporates DIMEA which has established
> itself over the last three years as a strong conference on
> interactive entertainment arts. Together the conference forms an
> exciting new step blending deeply the latest research in art and
> technology.
>
> The focus of ACE 2009 is to gather researchers from academia and
> industry-researchers who are working in multi-disciplinary areas
> within the arts, psychology, computer science, and design to

> of ACE is to stimulate discussion in the development and advancement
