and new media design, and producing rigorous research with innovative
designs and carefully conceived evaluations.
We welcome contributions from researchers, developers, practitioners, and
policy-makers in many fields, including: computer and information
scientists; diverse scientists, engineers, and architects; product,
graphic, and interaction designers; writers, musicians, and new media
artists; creative practitioners, corporate leaders, and educators; social
scientists, ethnographers, and anthropologists.
The conference will feature two elegant evening receptions at the National
Academy of Sciences and Corcoran Gallery of Art to celebrate the dialogue
among technology, science, and arts.
CONFERENCE THEMES
The general focus of the conference is about cultivating and sustaining
creativity: understanding how to design and evaluate computational support
tools, digital media, and sociotechnical environments that not only empower
our creative process and abilities, but also encourage and nurture creative
mindsets and lifestyles. Topics appropriate for submissions include, but
are not limited to:
- Principles for interface, interaction & software design
- Empirical evaluations by quantitative and qualitative methods
- In-depth case studies and ethnographic analyses
- Reflective accounts of individual and collaborative practice
- Educational and training methods to encourage creativity with novel
interfaces
- Social mechanisms in support of creative communities and collaboratories
- Emerging technologies, media, and approaches in the arts and creative
practices
- Transdisciplinary methods and collaboration models

/ PAPERS /
Co-Chairs: Gerhard Fischer, Mike Eisenberg & Elisa Giaccardi, University

minds;
2) Sustaining creative communities; 3) Promoting creative engagement.
/ DEMONSTRATIONS AND POSTERS /
Chair: Linda Candy, University of Technology Sydney, Australia We invite
proposals for demonstrations and posters of support tools and works that
contribute to our understanding of creativity and how digital media can
enhance the realization of creative forms. People in the early stages of
their careers or research programs are especially welcome to submit.
/ WORKSHOPS /
Chair: Michael Terry, University of Waterloo, Canada New developments
often benefit from being presented, discussed, demonstrated, and generally
questioned in more informal settings. The workshops portion of the
conference provides just such a venue for the dynamic exchange of new
ideas, creations, and discoveries.
/ GRADUATE STUDENT SYMPOSIUM /
Co-Chairs: Mary Czerwinski, Microsoft Research & Jim Hollan, University of
California, San Diego, USA The objective of the symposium is to provide a
supportive setting for feedback on graduate students' current work and
guidance on future directions. Student participants will meet and discuss
their work with each other and a panel of experienced researchers and
practitioners.
/ TUTORIALS /
Chair: Tom Hewett, Drexel University, USA We invite proposals to offer a
half or full day tutorial relevant to any of the conference themes and
topics. Criteria for selection of tutorials will emphasize the perceived
value of the tutorial in enabling members of the various communities of
interest to learn about work in one or more of the other communities of
interest. Presenters will receive an honorarium.
ART EXHIBITION
Chair: Pamela Jennings, Carnegie Mellon University, USA The art exhibition
program will complement the conference themes by celebrating the open-ended
creative processes that bridge the arts and sciences emphasizing shared
visions of innovation between the digital media arts, computer science,
human computer interaction and engineering research.
PROCEEDINGS
As with prior meetings, the Creativity & Cognition Conference Proceedings
will be published by ACM Press. Prizes for the best contributions will be
awarded by the Creativity & Cognition Studios of the University of
Technology, Sydney.
