Call for Papers

Although it seems clear that creativity plays an important role in  
developing intelligent computational systems, it is less clear how to  
model, simulate, or evaluate creativity in such systems. In other  
words, it is often easier to recognize the presence and effect of  
creativity than to describe or prescribe it. The purpose of this  
conference is to facilitate the exchange of ideas on the topic of  
computational creativity in a cross-disciplinary setting.  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 as it relates to computational  
systems.  This focus on creativity in the context of computational  
systems has the potential for increasing innovation in existing fields  
of research as well as for defining new fields of study, including

1. Artificially Creative Systems: development of computational systems  
that produce or simulate creativity. These systems may be inspired by  
human creativity or by the possibilities of artificial systems beyond  
human capabilities.
2. Computational Models of Human Creativity: construction of cognitive  
models of human creativity that can be the basis for computational  
creativity.
3. Computational Systems for Supporting Creativity: production of user  
interfaces, interaction design, decision support, and data modeling  
techniques that lead to the development of intelligent assistants that  
support the user in being more creative.


Topics

Original contributions are solicited in all areas related to  
Computational Creativity, including but not limited to:

1. computational paradigms for understanding creativity, including  
heuristic search, analogical reasoning, and re-representation;
2. metrics, frameworks and formalizations for the evaluation of  
creativity in computational systems;
3. perspectives on creativity, including philosophy of computational  
creativity, models of human behavior, intelligent systems, and  
creativity-support tools;
4. the role of creativity in learning, innovation, improvisation, and  
other pursuits;
5. factors that enhance creativity, including conflict, diversity,  
knowledge, intuition, reward structures, and technologies;
6. social aspects of creativity, including the relationship between  
individual and social creativity, diffusion of ideas, collaboration  
and creativity, formation of creative teams, and simulating creativity  
in social settings;
7. specific applications to music, language and the arts, to  
architecture and design, to scientific discovery, to education and to  
entertainment;
8. detailed system descriptions of creative systems, including  
engineering difficulties faced, example sessions and artefacts  
produced, and applications of the system.

The conference will include traditional paper presentations, will  
showcase the application of computational creativity to the sciences,  
creative industries and arts, and will incorporate a "show and tell"  
session, which will be devoted to demonstrations of computational  
systems exhibiting behaviour which would be deemed creative in  
humans.  In addition the conference will provide a forum for  
identifying trends and opportunities for research on [computational]  
creativity and promising practices concerning the development of  
creative computational systems.


Invited Speaker

Our keynote speaker will be Nancy J. Nersessian, Regents' Professor  
and Professor of Cognitive Science, Georgia Institute of Technology,  
USA. Nancy is an expert on creativity and innovation in scientific  
processes.


Submissions

Please submit full papers of up to 10 sides in Springer LNCS format.
We are also inviting short papers of up to 5 sides in Springer LNCS  
format. These can cover preliminary work, late-breaking results, short  
systems descriptions and interesting musings. Submission details (via  
easychair) are available on the conference website:
