==== SPECIAL SESSIONS AT ACE 2013 ====

The ACE 2013 Committee invites submissions of proposals for Special 
Sessions at the Advances in Computer Entertainment conference, to be 
held in Twente, Netherlands, November 13th-15th, 2013. A special session 
presents papers dedicated to a specific topic that deserves more focused 
attention; the organizers of a special session will take care of 
soliciting a small set of high quality papers.

==== SUBMISSION ====

Proposals for special sessions are submitted through the conference 
submission system EasyChair at 
https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=ace2013netherlands. A 
special session proposal should contain the following information:

* Title of the proposed Session
* Names/affiliation of organizers (including brief bio and contact 
information)
* An introduction (maximum 2 pages) stating the importance of the topic 
and the objectives of the proposed Session
* Tentative/confirmed list of papers (minimum 3, maximum 4); the 
organizers can present an introduction to the topic of the special 
session but should not submit other research work to the special session.
* Proposals should clearly describe the topic and explain why the topic 
cannot be covered appropriately in regular sessions.

Papers for approved Special Sessions should follow the regular paper 
format (16 pages Springer format) and should be submitted following the 
same schedule/procedure as for regular papers, and will undergo the same 
reviewing process by anonymous and independent reviewers as regular 
papers. Papers of an accepted session will appear in the ACE 2013 
conference proceedings, along with an introduction by the organizers (4 
pages Springer format).

Proposals will be evaluated by the ACE 2013 Committee based on the 
relevance and significance of the topic and potential interest to the 
conference attendees.

==== THE CONFERENCE ====

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 2013 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 an exciting, cultural, 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 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.
