Call Description

ACM Creativity & Cognition is a multi-disciplinary conference covering a broad range of topics. The conference brings together artists and scientists, designers, educators, and researchers. We seek to understand human creativity in its many manifestations, to design new interactive techniques and tools to augment and amplify human creativity, and to use computational media technologies to explore new creative processes and artifacts in all human endeavors ranging from the arts to science, from design to education. The goal of workshops and tutorials is to foster discussions and innovative experiences via collaborations and lessons from different areas.

What to Submit

We invite high-quality workshop proposals that include:

• Title, name(s) of organizer(s) and affiliations
• Topic and distinctive characteristics of the workshop/tutorial
• Relevance and significance of this topic to the community
• Workshop/Tutorial tentative schedule (how it will be run?)
• Anticipated audience, proposed channels for promoting and marketing it
• Length: full day or half day
• Include the bio of the organizers, highlighting their background and achievements related to the proposed topic
• Venue requirements: especially note any hardware/software requirements (computer lab, tools, workshop, software applications). Please indicate if there are any safety implications (eg. soldering) that may need health and safety compliance
• If you require any technical or specialist equipment, indicate clearly if you will be supplying it yourself or whether other arrangements need to be made.

Organizers should promote their event amongst their own peer networks and on mailing lists. The event will also be publicised on the conference website. They are as well responsible for organising the publication of any workshop proceedings if desired. Workshops and tutorials may be cancelled or combined if there is insufficient participation.

Please note:

• Submission format: Non-Anonymized 3-5 pages paper using the SIGCHI Extended Abstracts format.
• Evaluation: Content is rigorously juried by the committee for suitability as a workshop or tutorial, and interest to the community.
• Date: Workshops and tutorials will run for a full day on June 27, 2017, which is the day before the main conference track.
• Engagement: For both workshops and tutorials, we encourage submissions which offer interactive and participatory methods, and who aim to engage the wider community in the field.
• Conference support: the conference may be able to provide financial assistance in the form of free or reduced registration for the lead workshop organizer.
