******************************
* 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.

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.
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 at 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.

Authors are invited to submit an expanded full paper version of
their workshop submission to a post-workshop review process,
leading to a journal special issue on future directions for
creativity, idea generation, and general intelligence.
