ICEC 2006 attracted 47 full paper submissions, 48 short paper submissions in total 95 technical papers. Based on a thorough review and selection process by 85 international experts from academia and industry as members of the Program Committee, a high-quality program was compiled.

The final decision was made by review and conference chairs based on at least three reviewers' feedback available online via the conference management tool. As a result, 17 full papers and 17 short papers were accepted as submitted or with minor revisions. For the remaining submissions, 28 were recommended to change according to the reviews and were submitted as posters. This proceedings volume presents 62 technical contributions which are from many different countries: Belgium, Canada, P. R. China, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Korea, The Netherlands, Portugal, Singapore, Spain, Sweden, Taiwan, the UK, and USA.

Reviews

From the reviews:

"This book is a timely anthology of ongoing research reports from more than 60 entertainment computing laboratories around the globe. … An anthropologist looking back on this ICEC 2006 volume will find a practical survey of adiabatic synthesis from the theoretical expectations of development specialists and cutting-edge product creators. This is a collective expression of those technical features that today’s researchers personally would like incorporated into their favorite entertainment products … ." (Chaim Scheff, ACM Computing Reviews, Vol. 49 (2), February, 2008)
