Calls

Call for Workshops and Tutorials

The International Conference on Computational Creativity ICCC’21 solicits workshop and tutorial proposals to be held along with the main conference. We welcome proposals for half-day (3 hours) and full-day (6 hours) workshops and tutorials on any aspect of computational creativity research. Workshops and tutorials are a great opportunity to exchange ideas and a chance to foster broader adoption of your outlook, system, or method.

We welcome a diversity of event formats, from masterclasses on specific topics to peer-reviewed academic workshops to practical hands-on sessions. Please feel free to contact the organizers to discuss these options. All workshops will be academically self-contained: they should have their own organizing committee and, where necessary, conduct their own peer-review and publication process (i.e., prepare their own proceedings). Workshop and tutorial organizers must also create their own web page according to the Association for Computational Creativity. Like the main conference itself, all workshops and tutorials will be held virtually, and the organizers of each are responsible for managing their own arrangements and technical requirements.

Important dates

Workshop/tutorial proposal submissions are due by Friday, March 5, 2021. Potential workshop organizers are invited to submit workshop proposals earlier than the deadline and request an earlier response to allow more time to organize their own submission process.

Notification of workshop/tutorial acceptance will be made by Friday, March 12, 2021. Earlier acceptance may be possible at the chairs’ discretion to allow workshops a longer lead-time.

Note: all workshops should organize and manage their own paper submission, review, and publication process, with appropriate timelines.

Submission instructions

Please submit a PDF proposal of no more than 3 pages outlining the following:

  • Title and theme of the workshop or tutorial.
  • Description of your event’s scope and its relation to Computational Creativity. In the case of workshops, a description of the type of papers and other works that will be accepted is required (feel free to refer to previous workshop instances, including its past publications). In the case of tutorials, please provide a description of the background skills or knowledge that participants are expected to possess. All proposals must clearly explain how the workshop or tutorial will adapt to the virtual format of the 2021 conference.
  • Expected duration, number of participants, format, and a rough event schedule (an event can be a half-day or a full-day event).
  • Any technical requirements that the attendees must fulfill.
  • In the case of workshops, provide details of your timeline. In the case of tutorials, please provide details of your expected schedule (topics and sub-topics covered and their expected duration).
  • Organizing committee.

Please email your submission as a single PDF file of no more than 5MB with the subject “ICCC2021 Workshop Proposal” to workshops-iccc21@computationalcreativity.net or “ICCC2021 Tutorial Proposal” to tutorials-iccc21@computationalcreativity.net, respectively.
