***Demonstrations and Posters***
Posters and/or demos present preliminary results of research or design work within the scope of entertainment computing and with more emphasis on the interdisciplinary evaluation of these ideas. An extended abstract should be written in English and must be no longer than 4 pages in Springer LNCS style. All submissions will be reviewed by the ICEC 2005 program committee.
Two different deadlines for posters and demos are set to provide multiple chances to participate in the conference. Extended abstracts accepted from submissions by the early deadline are planned to be included in the proceedings of ICEC 2005 as the Springer Lecture Notes in Computer Science series. Those accepted from submissions by the late deadline will be published as a separate volume of proceedings. The late deadline offers authors an opportunity to present late breaking results. If possible, please include pictures and/or a video with your submission. Live demos are also encouraged. To be considered for demonstration during the conference, a 1-page description of the demo should be prepared, which specifies the requirements for space, equipments, and power supply for the demo.
Extended abstracts should be submitted through the submission web site in PDF format. All materials will be reviewed and processed electronically. The information about the work and a contact author's email address, mailing address, and phone number must be submitted through the submission web site by the deadline.
