CALL FOR PAPERS
4th INTERNATIONAL JOINT WORKSHOP ON COMPUTATIONAL CREATIVITY

Goldsmiths' College, University of London
London, UK, 17-19 June 2007


---> Due to requests, new Submission deadline: 24 March

website: http://doc.gold.ac.uk/isms/CC07/

The Program Committee of the 4th International Joint Workshop on
Computational Creativity invites submissions of technical and
position papers.  The workshop will be held at Goldsmiths,
University of London, UK, on 17-19 June 2007.

--------------------------
Workshop Objectives
--------------------------
The aim of the workshop is to facilitate exchange of ideas on the  
topic of
computational creativity. It will bring together people from AI,  
Cognitive
Science and related areas such as Psychology, Philosophy and the Arts
who research questions related to the notion of creativity with  
respect to
computers. The workshop will address issues such as how we assess
creativity in computers, how computers can model creative thought, how
computers can be used to enhance human creativity, and how we can
write creative software. The workshop will include papers on the many
and various aspects of computational creativity, and will showcased the
applications of computational creativity to the sciences, creative
industries and arts. The workshop will provide a forum for identifying
trends and opportunities for research on creativity and promising
practices concerning the development of creative systems. In addition,
there will be a "show and tell" session, which will be devoted to
demonstrations of systems exhibiting behaviour which would be
deemed creative in humans.

--------------------------
Topics
--------------------------
Original contributions are solicited in all areas related to Creative
Systems, including but not limited to:
- Computational models of creativity
- Cognitive models of creativity
- Metrics, frameworks and formalizations for the evaluation of
	creativity in computational systems
- Computational tools for supporting creativity
- Specific applications to music, language and the arts, to
	architecture and design, to scientific discovery, to education
	and to entertainment
- Philosophical discussions of computational creativity
- Detailed system descriptions of creative systems, including
	engineering difficulties faced, example sessions and artefacts
	produced, and applications of the system

-----------------------
Important Dates (updated due to requests)
-----------------------
March 24, 2007   Submission deadline
April 28, 2007   Authors' Notification
May   26, 2007   Deadline for final camera-ready copies

--------------------------
Submission Requirements
--------------------------
Authors should produce their papers according to the LaTeX format
posted on the workshop web site. Papers should be no longer than
eight pages; longer papers will not be reviewed. All submissions will
be reviewed in terms of quality, impact and relevance to the area of
computational creativity.

Contributions will be subject to anonymous, blind peer review:
reviewers will not be aware of the identities of the authors. This
requires that authors exercise some care not to identify themselves
in their contributions. Authors will receive feedback in the form of
reviewers' comments.

All Submissions will be made by electronic means. Detailed
instructions about the submission procedure are available on the
workshop web site.

Previous events
----------------------------

This workshop is the first completely autonomous edition of the series
of International Joint Workshops on Computational Creativity that were
held in association with other major events:

IJWCC 2004, Madrid, Spain, ECCBR'2004
IJWCC 2005, Edinburgh, UK, IJCAI'2005
IJWCC 2006, Riva del Garda, Italy, ECAI'2006
This joint series results from two previous streams of events that
have, since 1997, solidified and added rigour to the computational
treatment of creative processes. These events have been symposia and
workshops associated with AISB 99, AISB 00, ICCBR 01, AISB 01, ECAI 02,
AISB 02, IJCAI 03, AISB 03 and LREC 04.
