The conference has a long-standing tradition of bringing together aca- demia, industry, designers, developers, and artists into an interdisciplinary dialogue through a mix of keynote lectures, long and short article presentations, posters, work- shops,andverylivelydemosessions.Additionally,since2010,ICIDShasbeenhosting an international art exhibition open to the general public. For this edition we also introduced a new track, namely, “Brave New Ideas.” This track addresses works that explore highly innovative ideas and/or paradigm shifts in conventional theory and practiceofinteractivestorytelling.Itseekstodrawattentiontomethodsthatdifferfrom thestateoftheartinpracticeortheoryanddemonstratepotentialforchangedwaysof thinking. The aim is to establish a clearer roadmap as a community guideline for the development of thefield. The review process was extremely selective and many good papers could not be accepted for the final program. Altogether, we received 88 submissions in all the cat- egories. Out of the 66 submitted full papers, the Program Committee selected only 26 submissions for presentation and publication as full papers, which corresponds to an acceptance rate of 39 % for full papers. In addition, we accepted eight submissions as short papers, nine submissions as posters, and three submissions as demonstrations, including some long papers that were offered the opportunity to participate within another category. The ICIDS 2016 program featured contributions from 41 different institutions in16 different countries worldwide. The conference program also hosted three invited speakers: Kevin Bruner co-founded Telltale, Inc., in 2004 to blend technology, creativity, and productionprocessestocreateanewentertainmentexperienceanddefineanewbusiness model.
