Call for Tutorials

DIMEA2008, the 3rd ACM International Conference on Digital Interactive Media in Entertainment and Arts, which will be held in Athens, Greece 10-12 September 2008, invites international experts to present half day tutorials (2x90 minutes) providing in-depth knowledge and sharing their experience on a variety of topics related to the themes of DIMEA, i.e., digital interactive media in entertainment, art and creative technologies. Proposals are welcome on topics that have been previously addressed; however, new approaches or insights will be especially valued.

All tutorial lecturers are allowed to attend other tutorials at no extra charge, subject to space being available.
