Scope: Distributed Creativity
Creativity is a widely accepted concept loosely referred to as a resource or a capacity to bring about ideas and visions transformed into a body of work. Creativity encompasses making, playing, and designing meaningful opportunities such as interactive media systems and experiences. For INTETAIN 2014, we welcome researchers in science and engineering and creative practitioners to come together and explore how shared media networks, production, and experiences may make use of a notion such as distributed creativity.
We invite the submission of research papers and posters, panel discussions, creative technology demonstrations, and workshop proposals that address all aspects of design, production, distribution, and assessment of interactive making and playing.

• Supporting and Eliciting Creativity
Technology that helps people be creative
• Architecture to support Distributed Creativity
• In performing, playing, and producing
• Intelligent Integration of multiple sensor types and fusion scenario

• AI humor, AI metaphor, AI storytelling, AI painting, AI music
• Distribution and democracy in play and production paradigms, authorship practices
• Sensors + Signal processing for data fusion
• Play and Performance
