Call for Papers for the 1st Workshop on Creativity and Robotics at ICSR 2020
URL: https://creativity-robotics.github.io/cfp/

\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\
DEADLINES
- Paper submission: October 16, 2020 AOE
- Notification: October 31, 2020

ABOUT THIS WORKSHOP
This workshop aims to bring together these lines of investigation and debate existing challenges under the research topic of Creativity and Robotics. The 1st Creativity and Robotics workshop will be a virtual workshop at ICSR 2020. Our goal is to explore the creative potential a robot offers as well as whether society will engage with such robots.

We invite papers that target creativity, robotics and the arts, design, and engineering-related challenges: including new algorithms, systems, methodology, datasets, evaluations, surveys, reproduced results, and negative results.

\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\
SUBMISSION GUIDELINES
Submissions to Creativity and Robotics Workshop at ICSR 2020 are limited to 6 pages of content (minimum 4 pages), but may contain an unlimited number of pages for references and appendices. The latter may not necessarily be read by the reviewers. We request and recommend that authors rely on the supplementary material only to include minor details that do not fit in the 6 pages. The submission process is double-blind. All submissions must be formatted with LaTeX using the ICSR 2020 paper format (https://sites.psu.edu/icsr2020/submission/)

Submission: Email paper PDF to creativity dot robotics at gmail dot com

Contributions to this workshop are required to provide a clear definition for the concept of Creativity. Additionally, contributions are expected to discuss how their research contributes to a “common language” that advances the holistic notion of the concept of creativity across fields.

We welcome articles currently under review or papers planned for publication elsewhere. However, papers that have been published at another archival conference should not be submitted. Accepted papers will be published on the Creativity and Robotics homepage, but are to be considered non-archival.

FRONTIERS RESEARCH TOPIC
This workshop is endorsed by Frontiers via a new research topic on “Creativity and Robotics” (website: https://www.frontiersin.org/research-topics/14181/creativity-and-robotics) in Frontiers in Robotics and AI Journal launched by the organizers of this proposed workshop. Accepted papers for this workshop will be invited to submit to this research topic.

INVITED SPEAKER - TODD LUBART
Todd Lubart is Professor at the University Paris Descartes where he directs the activity of the Laboratoire Adaptations Travail Individu (LATI). He earned his PhD from Yale University in 1994 under the supervision of Robert Sternberg and soon after that moved to the University of Paris Descartes where he became an Assistant Professor in 1995 and then Professor of Psychology in 2002. He was a member of the Institut Universitaire de France (2005-2010).

His work on creativity is extensive and includes approximately 75 publications, articles, books and book chapters covering various aspects of the phenomenon: creative process, individual differences, role of cognition and emotion, environmental and cultural factors, etc. His current work develops a multivariate approach to creativity.
