Following the success of the workshop on Computational Models of
Creativity in the Arts held at Goldsmiths College, University of
London in May 2006 a special issue of the journal Digital
Creativity is now being prepared.

Call for Participation

This special issue will address the use of computational systems
in the fine and performing arts, literature, design and animation
as well as the associated fields of aesthetics, cognitive
science, art history and cultural theory. It especially invites
those involved in the computational analysis and modelling of
creative behaviour to contribute.

It is intended that this call should interest the widest possible
constituency. However a very broad list of (nonexclusive)
descriptors might include:

•* the application of computational and generative methodologies in
* the arts and related creative disciplines
* •computational approaches to creativity, cognition and aesthetics
* •the application of artificial intelligence and artificial life
* •the application of evolutionary and adaptive systems
* •cultural applications of computing and digital electronics in general
