Call for Papers: Special Session on *Evolutionary Computation for Creative Intelligence* http://cilab.cs.ccu.edu.tw/ci-tf/ECCI2013.html 2013 IEEE Congress on Evolutionary Computation (IEEE CEC 2013) http://www.cec2013.org/ ================================================ AIM AND SCOPE: Evolutionary Computation has been mainly considered as an optimization technique. Nevertheless, in the last decade a number of researchers have demonstrated their capabilities when creativity is required: creativity when dealing with aesthetic and also when trying to envision new solutions to problems. The aim of this special session is to reflect the most recent advances of EC for Computational Creativity, with the goal to enhance autonomous creative systems as well as human creativity. This session will allow researchers to share experiences and present their new ways for taking advantage of EC techniques in Creativity. High quality paper submissions which demonstrate novelty in terms of methodology, application or both, are strongly encouraged. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, EC technologies in the following aspects: - Envisioning new means for creativity when facing hard problems - Algorithmic design in creative intelligence - Creative Programming with EC - Development of hardware for creative systems - Optimization and creativity - Generation of Music, Visual Art, Architecture and Design - Assistance of human creativity - Computational aesthetics - Emotion response - Human-machine creativity IMPORTANT DATES: Paper submissions February 15, 2013 Notification of acceptance April 8, 2013 Final paper submission April 26, 2013 PAPER SUBMISSION: Prospective authors are invited to contribute their papers to Special Session on *Evolutionary Computation for Creative Intelligence* papers are to be submitted electronically through the IEEE CEC 2013 main website http://www.cec2013.org/ CHAIRS: Francisco Fernández de Vega University of Extremadura, Spain [log in to unmask] Chuan-Kang Ting National Chung Cheng University, Taiwan [log in to unmask] __,_._,___ ==== Paul Brown - based in OZ Nov 2012 to March 2013 http://www.paul-brown.com == http://www.brown-and-son.com OZ Landline +61 (0)7 3391 0094 == USA fax +1 309 216 9900 OZ Mobile +61 (0)419 72 74 85 == Skype paul-g-brown ==== Synapse Artist-in-Residence - Deakin University http://www.deakin.edu.au/itri/cisr/projects/hear.php Honorary Visiting Professor - Sussex University http://www.cogs.susx.ac.uk/ccnr/research/creativity.html ====
