Call for papers for Special Issue on Creative Evolutionary Systems
------------------------------------------------------------------
Guest editors: Peter J Bentley and David W Corne
A growing and exciting area of evolutionary computation is its application in
creative areas such as architecture, art, music, and design. This special issue
in Applied Intelligence (the International Journal of Artificial Intelligence,
Neural Networks and Complex Problem-Solving Technologies) will bring together
the most advanced work in the general use of evolutionary computation for
creative results.
Papers should contain original and unpublished material, describing the use of
evolutionary techniques such as genetic algorithms, genetic programming, memetic
algorithms, evolutionary strategies and evolutionary programming, for the
generation of innovative/creative solutions or to provide support for our own
creative processes. Relevant topics include, but are not limited to:
- Creative evolutionary design, for example:
evolution of non-routine/creative/conceptual design
evolvable hardware
evolutionary architecture
evolution of novel control systems/neural networks
evolution of novel forms/structures/robot bodies/artificial life
- Evolutionary art, for example:
evolution of drawings, images, sculptures, animations
evolution of dance, poetry
- Evolutionary music, for example:
evolutionary composition
the use of evolution for music production
evolving simulations of voices/instruments
- Supporting human creativity, for example:
new methods to explore solution spaces with evolution
techniques to enhance our ideas and innovative solutions
explorations of the impact of these techniques on people
investigations of interfacing issues between creative evolutionary systems and people
- Theory, for example:
defining the difference between optimization and creativity by evolution
understanding how evolution can be creative and how these abilities can be improved
creation of new representations and other techniques to enable innovation by evolution
