CC2017 Calls for Participation

ACM Creativity and Cognition 2017 will be held in Singapore from June 27 thru June 30, 2017. We invite papers, posters, demos, pictorials, workshops, artworks, and graduate student symposium submissions investigating how interactive computing systems and sociotechnical processes affect creativity. Of particular interest are contributions that relate to this year’s conference theme: Lifelong Creativity, Learning, and Innovation. The theme reflects our belief that creativity is a lifelong pursuit rather than a transient goal. We cherish creativity as a wonderful aspect of human experience, transformative and potentially transcendental. Creativity is the partner of inspiration, of moments when we seem to go beyond ourselves to reach new heights.

Submission Dates

Papers, pictorials, artworks, and workshops

• Submission: January 13 (extended), 2017 @ 11:59 PM UTC −12:00
• Artwork Notification: Feburary 20, 2017 (extended)
• Other Notifications: March 3, 2017

Posters, technology demos, and graduate student symposium

• Submission: March 10, 2017 @ 11:59 PM UTC −12:00
• Notification: April 10, 2017

All deadlines are specified as Anywhere on Earth time.

Submission Types

• Papers submissions should address the impact of design and technology on individual creative experiences as well as social and collaborative contexts. In all cases, we seek submissions that attempt to validate key contributions and feature data about how technology affects human creativity. Papers can be of two categories: full papers (up to 10 pages) or notes (up to 4 pages). Both will be presented at the conference. Notes will receive half as much time.
• Poster submissions (up to 4 pages) should highlight early stage research results that show promise for maturing into a future paper submission.
• Technology demonstrations (up to 2 pages) should demonstrate novel socio-technical systems, digital or online tools, or interactive environments that aim to enable, enhance, or otherwise benefit creative experiences. Ideally, the demonstration should invite hands-on experiences for the conference attendees.
• Pictorials submissions (up to 12 pages) should communicate a compelling narrative in which the visual components (e.g. sketches, illustrations, renderings, diagrams, photographs, annotated photographs, collages) are foregrounded as the most important part of the contribution.
• Workshop submissions (up to 5 pages) should bring together scholars across disciplines to debate, disseminate, and advance the theory and practice of topics relevant to the conference.
• Artwork submissions (up to 2 pages) should describe an artwork, installation, composition, or performance to be presented in conjunction with the conference.
• Graduate student symposium submissions (up to 4 pages) are limited to students in a doctoral research program or a masters-level program in the arts and design. Submissions should communicate current research / design progress and a planned direction of work relevant to the conference, and how the student will benefit from guidance provided by peers and senior colleagues.

All submissions will be reviewed independently. Therefore, for example, if authors would like to present both a paper and a technology demonstration, then the authors need to make two separate submissions, one for papers and for demonstrations, as described in the respective calls. All page limits listed in the calls exclude references.

Authors take note: The official publication date is the date the proceedings are made available in the ACM Digital Library. This date may be up to two weeks prior to the first day of your conference. The official publication date affects the deadline for any patent filings related to published work. (For those rare conferences whose proceedings are published in the ACM Digital Library after the conference is over, the official publication date remains the first day of the conference.)
