Dear Oliver Wellnitz,

Please ignore this message if you have receive this message more than once. We apologise for any inconvenience caused.

We are inviting potential authors to submit papers for the forthcoming conference through the conference website at www.dime2006.org

DIME 2006 is intended to be the definitive point of interaction between entertainment software developers and academic and industrial researchers. This conference is targeted at both the research and commercial communities, promoting research and practice in the context of interactive digital entertainment systems with an emphasis on commercial computer and video games. Computer entertainment and network gaming's ability to generate a culture which immerses and absorbs its participants has made it an object of new millennial 'moral panic'. And in many ways, it is. The phenomenal success of popular culture to initiate a mass audience in patterns and practices of its own consumption has supported the evolution of an enormously powerful mass entertainment industry extending deeply into every aspect of our lives. This conference is dedicated to building common ground between research, design and development, learning and collaboration in its myriad forms: its object is the exploration of 'education & play', demonstrating new arenas and applications for digital gaming and incorporating leading edge technologies, designs and models in our changing views about what is involved in gaming. This conference will bring together academics, technologists, artists, designers, and industry representatives to help define, refine, and advance the leading edge of new digital and interactive media art and technology.

Authors are to submit their full papers by the 7 May 2006.
