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
