BOUT THE WORKSHOP

The 1st Workshop on Computational Creativity and Games (CCGW 2015) is organized in conjunction with the International Conference on Computational Creativity 2015. The workshop will take place on June 28th in Park City, Utah, shortly before the main conference.

Games present a great avenue for research in the field of Computational Creativity. Many of the steps involve creative processes from both the designer, users, and the computational system itself. From conception, to design, to implementation, and to expression, there are many ways by which computational creativity plays a part. This workshop aims to bring together researchers from a variety of disciplines across both games and Computational Creativity research, and explore new ideas for the two fields to exchange ideas and explore new avenues.

CCGW will be a one-day workshop with a series of short sessions. Each session will consist of 3-4 paper presentations, each followed by Q&A. We will be broadcasting the workshop live online (with speaker permission), and archiving videos of talks for after the event as well.

WORKSHOP TOPICS

Papers may cover a variety of topics related to computational creativity and games including, but not limited to, the following:

Autonomous game design and/or evaluation
Automatic evaluation of game content
Assistive game design tools for professional and amateur development
Computational creativity in non-developer communities (e.g. modding)
Computational creativity and procedural content generation
Cultural issues relating to generative software and games or game design
Reports of computationally creative software working in the domain of games (or related domains)
SUBMISSION

We welcome submissions of full papers (4-6 pages) for oral presentation. We also welcome demonstration papers (2 pages) on systems in development. You may anonymise your paper if you wish, but you are not required to.
