CALL FOR CONTRIBUTIONS WORKSHOP ON CREATIVE SYSTEMS Approaches to Creativity in Artificial Intelligence and Cognitive Science =46ourth International Conference on Case Based Reasoning (ICCBR'01) Simon Fraser University at Harbour Centre, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, 31 July 2001 website: http://creative-systems.dei.uc.pt/CS01Workshop/ The Program Committee of the Workshop on Creative Systems - Approaches to Creativity in Artificial Intelligence and Cognitive Science - invites submissions of technical and position papers for the workshop. The workshop will be held at Simon Fraser University at Harbour Centre, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, on 31 July 2001, as a part of the Fourth International Conference on Case Based Reasoning (ICCBR'01). ------------------------------- Workshop Objectives ------------------------------- This workshop will bring together communities from AI and Cognitive Science working on Creative Systems, giving the opportunity to promote presentation and discussion of ongoing work in the area. The workshop aims to encourage cross-fertilization between the various approaches, including the study of cognitive and computational models for creativity and the application of current AI techniques to the development of creative systems. The workshop will provide a forum for identifying trends and opportunities for research on creativity and promising practices concerning the development of creative systems. ---------- Topics ---------- Original contributions are solicited in all areas related to Creative Systems, including but not limited to: - Computational models of creativity - Cognitive Science models of creativity - CBR, evolutionary, hybrid and other approaches to Creative Systems - Contributions of computational and cognitive creativity to CBR - Evaluation of Creativity - Machine Creativity - Metaphor - Creativity-support computational tools - Applications to music and arts - Applications to architecture and design - Applications to scientific discovery ----------------------- Important Dates ----------------------- = 11 May 2001 Submission deadline for workshop contributions 10 June 2001 Notice of acceptance 30 June 2001 Deadline for final camera-ready copies -------------------------- Workshop Format -------------------------- The workshop will comprise three thematic sessions and a final panel. Each session will be organized around a common theme, and will close with a panel discussion comparing the approaches presented. In addition, the workshop will close with a final panel on current and future research trends. --------------------------------------------------------------- Submission Requirements for Contributions --------------------------------------------------------------- Two categories of submissions are welcome: technical abstracts and position papers. Technical abstracts must be no longer than 3 pages in length and are expected to describe current research on creative systems development and modeling. Full, camera-ready versions of accepted abstracts will be no longer than 6 pages. Position papers must be no longer than 2 pages and are expected to address foundational issues and research proposals. All Submissions will be made by electronic means, in ICCBR'01 format. =46ax or snail mail submissions will not be accepted. Detailed instructions and a submission form will soon be made available on the workshop web site. Accepted papers will be considered for publication in a special issue of creative systems in an international journal. ---------------------------- Reviewing Process ---------------------------- Submissions will be judged on significance, originality, quality and clarity. Each paper will be cross-reviewed by two referees. 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. Detailed instructions will soon be made available at the workshop web site. ------------------------- Workshop Chairs ------------------------- Carlos Bento bento@dei.uc.pt http://www.dei.uc.pt/~bento Amilcar Cardoso amilcar@dei.uc.pt http://www.dei.uc.pt/~amilcar Center for Informatics and Systems (CISUC) University of Coimbra, Portugal ----------------------------- Program Committee ----------------------------- Ashok Goel, GeogiaTech, USA (ashok.goel@cc.gatech.edu) David Brown, Worcester Polytechnic Institute, USA (dcb@cs.wpi.edu) David Cope, University of California, Santa Cruz, USA (howell@cats.ucsc.edu) David Leake, Indiana University, USA (leake@cs.indiana.edu) =46rancisco C.
