Call for Workshops and Tutorials

Submission deadline (extended): January 14

The 15th International Conference on Computational Creativity is soliciting proposals for workshops and tutorials to be held in association with the main ICCC conference. We welcome proposals for half-day, full-day and one-and-a-half-day workshops and tutorials on any aspect of computational creativity research whose focus area complements the topics discussed in the main conference.

Workshops offer a great opportunity to exchange ideas, and a chance to drive broader adoption of your systems and methods. We welcome a diversity of formats, from academic workshops (with a process of peer review for submitted papers, managed by the workshop organisers) to traditional tutorials, as well as hands-on and practical workshops. Please feel free to contact the organisers to discuss the possibilities further.

Topics can range from anything between theoretical or computational aspects of computational creativity, social and ethical implications, and/or focused artistic showcases. In the past, workshops at ICCC have covered a wide variety of focused areas and this is part of the strength of a workshop series. We will prioritise workshops that have a clear focus area, rather than a more general application area. This is to create a workshop program that is complementary to the conference.

Please notice that all workshops will be academically self-contained: they should have their own organising committee and conduct their own peer review managed entirely by the workshop organisers. All peer-reviewed full papers of workshops accepted at ICCC’24 will be jointly published as a separate part of the conference proceedings or as part of CEUR-WS workshop proceedings.

The venue has several rooms appropriate for a range of different types of workshops: including classic lecture rooms and showcase rooms with up to 8 projectors perfect for more artistically directed workshops/tutorials.

 

Important dates

  • Workshop proposal submissions due: January 14, 2024
  • Notification of workshop acceptance: January 18, 2024

In case of excellent early bird submissions, earlier acceptance may be possible at the chairs’ discretion, to allow workshops a longer lead time.

All workshop organisers should manage their own abstract/paper submission, invite a program committee and handle a peer-reviewing process with appropriate timelines. For the workshops that accept submissions for publications we recommend adhering to the following

  • Workshop call for papers announcement and publicity: January 24, 2024
  • Workshop paper submission deadline: April 10, 2024

The organisers must develop their own workshop/tutorial web page that will be located on the ACC server. The web page must follow the visual identity of ICCC. The ICCC 2024 webmasters will provide templates to facilitate this process.
