Topics<\/strong><\/h1>\n

Original research contributions are solicited in all areas related to Computational Creativity\u00a0<\/strong>research and practice, including, but not limited to:<\/strong>
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

– Computational paradigms for understanding creativity, including heuristic search, analogical<\/span> and meta-level reasoning, and representation.<\/span><\/p>\n

– Metrics, frameworks, formalisms and methodologies for the evaluation of creativity in<\/span> computational systems, and for the evaluation of how systems are perceived in society.<\/span><\/p>\n

– Development and assessment of computational creativity-support tools, where the software<\/span> ultimately takes on some creative responsibility in projects.<\/span><\/p>\n

– Creativity-oriented computing in learning, teaching, and other aspects of education.<\/span><\/p>\n

– Innovation, improvisation, virtuosity and related pursuits investigating the production of<\/span> novel experiences and artefacts within a computational framework.<\/span><\/p>\n

– Computational accounts of factors that enhance creativity, including emotion, surprise<\/span> (unexpectedness), reflection, conflict, diversity, motivation, knowledge, intuition, reward\u00a0<\/span>structures,.<\/span><\/p>\n

– Computational models of social aspects of creativity, including the relationship between\u00a0<\/span> individual and social creativity, diffusion of ideas, collaboration<\/span> and creativity, formation of creative teams, and creativity in social settings.<\/span><\/p>\n

– Perspectives on computational creativity which draw from philosophical, cognitive,<\/span> psychological and\/or sociological studies of human behaviour put into a context of creative<\/span> intelligent systems.<\/span><\/p>\n

– Computational creativity in the cloud, including how web services can be used to foster<\/span> unexpected creative behaviour in computational systems.<\/span><\/p>\n

– Applications that address creativity in specific domains such as music, language, narrative,<\/span> poetry, games, visual arts, graphic design, <\/span>product design<\/span>, architecture, entertainment, education,\u00a0<\/span>mathematical invention, scientific discovery, programming.<\/span><\/p>\n

Paper Types<\/strong><\/h1>\n

Papers should be submitted broadly in one of the following five categories:<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Technical papers<\/span><\/em><\/h4>\n

These will be papers posing and addressing hypotheses about aspects of creative behaviour in\u00a0<\/span>computational systems. The emphasis here is on using solid experimentation, formal proof and\/or\u00a0<\/span>argumentation which clearly demonstrates an advancement in the state of the art or current\u00a0<\/span>thinking in Computational Creativity research. Strong evaluation of approaches through\u00a0<\/span>comparative, statistical, social or other means is essential.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

System or resource description papers<\/em><\/h4>\n

These will be papers describing the building and deployment of a creative system or resource to\u00a0<\/span>produce artefacts of potential cultural value in one or more domains. The emphasis here is on\u00a0<\/span>presenting engineering achievement, technical difficulties encountered and overcome, techniques\u00a0<\/span>employed, reusable resources built, and general findings about how to get computational systems\u00a0<\/span>to produce valuable results. While the presentation of results from the system or resource is\u00a0<\/span>expected, full evaluation of the approaches employed is not essential if the technical\u00a0<\/span>achievement is high.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Study papers<\/span><\/em><\/h4>\n

These will be papers which draw on allied fields such as psychology, philosophy, cognitive\u00a0<\/span>science or mathematics; or which appeal to broader areas of Artificial Intelligence and Computer\u00a0<\/span>Science in general; or which appeal to studies of the field of Computational Creativity as a\u00a0<\/span>whole. The emphasis here is on presenting enlightening novel perspectives related to the\u00a0<\/span>building, assessment or deployment of systems ranging from autonomously creative systems to\u00a0<\/span>creativity support tools. Such perspectives can be presented through a variety of approaches\u00a0<\/span>including ethnographic studies, thought experiments, comparison with studies of human\u00a0<\/span>creativity and surveys.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Cultural application papers<\/span><\/em><\/h4>\n

These will be papers presenting the usage of creative software in a cultural setting, e.g., art\u00a0<\/span>exhibitions\/books; concerts\/recordings\/scores; poetry or story readings\/anthologies; cookery\u00a0<\/span>nights\/books; results for scientific journals or scientific practice; released games\/game jam\u00a0<\/span>entries. The emphasis here is on a clear description of the role of the system in the given\u00a0<\/span>context, the results of the system in the setting, technical details of inclusion of the system,\u00a0<\/span>and feedback from the experience garnered from public audiences, critics, experts, stakeholders\u00a0<\/span>and other interested parties.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Position papers<\/span><\/em><\/h4>\n

These will be papers presenting an opinion on some aspect of the culture of Computational\u00a0<\/span>Creativity research, including discussions of future directions, past triumphs or mistakes and\u00a0<\/span>issues of the day. The emphasis here is on carefully arguing a position; highlighting and\u00a0<\/span>exposing previously hidden or misunderstood issues or ideas; and generally providing thought\u00a0<\/span>leadership \u00a0bout the field in general, or in specific contexts. While opinions don\u2019t need to be\u00a0<\/span>substantiated through formalisation or experimentation, justification of points of view will\u00a0<\/span>need to draw on \u00a0horough knowledge of the field of Computational Creativity and overlapping\u00a0<\/span>areas, and provide convincing motivations and arguments related to the relevance of the points\u00a0<\/span>being addressed \u00a0and their importance. \u00a0<\/span>All submissions will be reviewed in terms of quality, impact and relevance to the area of\u00a0<\/span>Computational Creativity.<\/span><\/p>\n

Submission Instructions<\/strong><\/h1>\n

Papers should be up to 8 sides in length, and of course papers shorter than 8 sides which make\u00a0<\/span>a strong contribution are more than welcome. You are welcome to make your papers \u00a0anonymous, but\u00a0<\/span>this is not a requirement for the submission. To be considered, papers must be submitted as a\u00a0<\/span>PDF document formatted according to ICCC style (which is similar to AAAI and IJCAI formats).<\/span><\/p>\n

– Double Submissions Policy: The work submitted to ICCC should not be under review in another\u00a0<\/span>scientific conference or journal at the time of submission.<\/span><\/p>\n

– To be included in the proceedings, each paper must be presented in the conference by one of\u00a0<\/span>the authors.<\/span><\/p>\n

Important Dates<\/strong><\/h1>\n

Submissions due: March\u00a05, 2016 (extended deadline)<\/span><\/p>\n

Acceptance notification: May\u00a019, 2016<\/span><\/p>\n

Camera-ready copies due: May 27, 2016<\/span><\/p>\n

Conference: June 27 – July 1, 2016<\/span><\/p>\n
