Philosophers,<br>cognitive psychologists, computer scientists and artists have all contributed to<br>and enriched the literature.<br><br>Many argue a machine is creative if it simulates or replicates human creativity<br>(e.g. evaluation of AI systems via a Turing-style test), while others have<br>conceived of computational creativity as an inherently different discipline, where<br>computer generated (art)work should not be judged on the same terms, i.e. being<br>necessarily producible by a human artist, or having similar attributes, etc. This<br>symposium aims at bringing together researchers to discuss recent technical and<br>philosophical developments in the field, and the impact of this research on the<br>future of our relationship with computers and the way we perceive them: at the<br>individual level where we interact with the machines, the social level where we<br>interact with each other via computers, or even with machines interacting with<br>each other.<br><br>TOPICS OF INTEREST:<br><br>- Novel systems and theories in computational creativity, in any domain, e.g. drawing and painting, music, story telling, poetry, games, etc.<br><br>- The evaluation of computational creative systems, processes and artifacts<br><br>- Theory of computational aesthetics<br><br>- Representational issues in creativity, including visual and perceptual representations<br><br>- Social aspects of computational creativity, and intellectual property issues<br><br>- Creative autonomy and constraint<br><br>- Computational appreciation of artifacts, including human artwork<br><br>AWARDS: Taylor & Francis' CRC Press book vouchers will be given to the best student paper (£50) and the best paper from all the submissions (£100).<br><br>ORGANISING COMMITTEE:<br>Chairs:<br>- Mohammad Majid al-Rifaie (<a href="mailto:m.majid@gold.ac.uk">m.majid@gold.ac.uk</a>)<br>- Stephen McGregor (<a href="mailto:s.e.mcgregor@qmul.ac.uk">s.e.mcgregor@qmul.ac.uk</a>)<br><br>Publicity chair:<br>- Mohammad Ali Javaheri Javid (<a href="mailto:m.javaheri@gold.ac.uk">m.javaheri@gold.ac.uk</a>)<br><br>PROGRAMME COMMITTEE:<br>- Tarek Besold (Free University of Bozen-Bolzano, Italy)<br>- Mark Bishop (Goldsmiths, University of London, UK)<br>- Paul Brown (University of Sussex, UK)<br>- Amílcar Cardoso (University of Coimbra, Portugal)<br>- Simon Colton (Falmouth University, UK)<br>- Pablo Gervás (Universidad Complutense de Madrid, Spain)<br>- Bipin Indurkhya (AGH University, Kraków, Poland)<br>- Colin Johnson (University of Kent, UK)<br>- Anna Jordanous (University of Kent, UK)<br>- Penousal Machado (University of Coimbra, Portugal)<br>- Jon McCormack (Monash University, Australia)<br>- François Pachet (SONY Computer Science Lab Paris, France)<br>- Alison Pease (University of Dundee, UK)<br>- Matthew Purver (Queen Mary University of London, UK)<br>- Georgi Stojanov (American University of Paris, France)<br>- Hannu Toivonen (University of Helsinki, Finland)<br>- Tony Veale (University College Dublin, Ireland)<br>- Dan Ventura (Brigham Young University, USA)<br>- Geraint Wiggins (Queen Mary University of London, UK)<br><br><div apple-content-edited="true">
