**************************************************** * Workshop on Computational Creativity, * * Concept Invention, and General Intelligence 2015 * * @UNILOG 2015, June 30, 2015, Istanbul/Turkey * **************************************************** In conjunction with the 5th World Congress and School on Universal Logic ******************** * Workshop Webpage * ******************** http://www.cogsci.uos.de/~c3gi ****************************** * Workshop Topics & Audience * ****************************** The targeted audience for the workshop are researchers associated with the fields working in the development of computational models for creativity, concept formation, concept discovery, idea generation, and their overall relation and role to general intelligence. Furthermore, researchers coming from application areas, like computer-aided innovation (CAI) are welcome to submit papers for this workshop. Also, in 2015 especially researchers working on logical methods related to creativity, concept formation, and conceptual change are invited to submit original research contributions or opinion papers to the workshop. We invite papers that make a scientific contribution to the fields of computational creativity, idea generation and/or artificial general intelligence, with possible topics ranging from theoretical studies of human creativity, inventive capacities and intelligence (that in some way propose a computational model for the respective capability), through more practical contributions reporting on creative, inventive or generally intelligent computer systems (we particularly welcome implementations offering general or at least multiple sorts of results) and studies of systems and software supporting and/or guiding humans in the creative or inventive act, to application-based reports from fields like design, architecture or arts. Submissions connecting to several of the aforementioned topics are highly encouraged and welcome. Due to the open nature of the targeted topics, we hope for contributions from a broad variety of subdisciplines within AI and related areas. Relevant keywords include but are not limited to following high-level areas: - Computational Creativity & Creativity-Support Tools - Analogical Reasoning - Artificial General Intelligence - Automated Story Generation - Computer-Aided & Automated Mathematics - Computer-Aided Innovation - Computational Models for Conceptual Blending - Automated Poetry Generation - Automated Music Generation/Automated Composition - Automated Art Generation - Creativity in Problem Solving ******************* * Call for Papers * ******************* Anybody with an interest in the questions raised above is invited to submit a research or position paper as basis for discussions during the workshop. Submissions should be sent to Tarek R. Besold ( c3gi@cogsci.uos.de ). Accepted papers will be published online in the "Publication Series of the Institute of Cognitive Science" (PICS, ISSN 1610-5389), a scientific series from the Institute of Cognitive Science, University of Osnabrueck, unless the authors instruct us otherwise. As in previous years the organizers will check possibilities for publishing a post-workshop journal special issue or a collection of expanded contributions depending on the quality and number of submitted and accepted workshop papers. ******************* * Important Dates * ******************* Paper submission deadline: 19th of April, 2015 Notification of acceptance: 17th of May, 2015 Camera ready versions: 31st of May, 2015 Workshop: 30th of June, 2015 ************************ * Format of Submission * ************************ All papers should be submitted in accordance to the Springer LNCS formatting style (available from the Springer webpage). Submitted papers should not be longer than 13 pages (with the last page exclusively reserved for bibliographic references). ********************* * Program Committee * ********************* Program Committee Co-Chairs: - T.
