We are happy to invite you to participate in ICCC 2016, the 7th International Conference on Computational Creativity, which will be held in Paris, from June 27th to July 1st. The conference will be hosted at Université Pierre & Marie Curie, in the center of Paris (5th arrondissement).
Computational Creativity is the art, science, philosophy and engineering of computational systems which, by taking on particular responsibilities, exhibit behaviours that unbiased observers would deem to be creative. As a field of research, this area is thriving, with progress in formalising what it means for software to be creative, along with many exciting and valuable applications of creative software in the sciences, the arts, literature, gaming and elsewhere.
The ICCC conference series organized by The Association for Computational Creativity since 2010 is the only scientific conference that focuses on computational creativity alone and also covers all aspects of it.
ICCC 2016 will be our biggest and most exciting conference yet. We will have plenty of paper presentations and posters, as a record number of papers were submitted this year. We are also proud to host two workshops: the 4th International Workshop on Musical Meta Creation (MUME 2016), and the 4th Computational Creativity & Games workshop (CCGW16) as well as two tutorials (one on the Engagement-Reflection model and a Prosecco tutorial about Computational Creativity).
We will also have a series of additional events, including a keynote talk by psychologist Todd Lubart, a Baroque opera (Casparo by Luc Steels) about Artificial Intelligence, a session of ERC talks accompanied by real-time illustrators, several book launches and book announcements, video competition and best paper awards, a reception at the Paris City Hall, and a special Flow-Machines session and cocktail at the top of the Jussieu tower where you can enjoy the best possible view of Paris: The week will be full!
If you are planning to attend the conference, please register as soon as possible as we finalise catering arrangements and logistics (note that the deadline for early-bird registration rate is coming up on Friday, May 13!). Also, accommodation will be harder to find as time progresses, because of the Euro Championship being held in Paris at that time.
If you have any questions or concerns about registering for the conference, do not hesitate to contact the members of the Organising Committee, Amilcar, François, Vincent or Fiammetta.
We look forward to seeing you all soon!
