It is commonly regarded as 'intuitive' and not susceptible to rational enquiry. However, there is now considerable work in artificial intelligence and cognitive science which addresses creativity. This symposium will provide a forum for exploring and discussing these ideas, and for suggesting directions for future research. It aims to attract practitioners of both 'cognitive' and 'technological' artificial intelligence. KEYNOTE SPEAKER - PROFESSOR MARGARET BODEN INVITED SPEAKERS include Ernest Edmonds, Loughborough University of Technology, UK John Gero, University of Sydney, Australia Graham Priest, University of Queensland, Australia Roger Wales, University of Melbourne, Australia TOPICS FOR PRESENTATION AND DISCUSSION The symposium calls for extended abstracts of 750-1,000 words. The following are suggested areas only: - Models of creativity - Modelling creative processes - Creative reasoning, e.g theory generation in science - Analogical reasoning - Case-based reasoning - Nonmonotonic reasoning - Thought experiments All abstracts will be refereed. Accepted papers will be subjected to a further refereeing process for publication by Kluwer Academic Press. The symposium will be structured to provide adequate time for both presentation and discussion. TIMETABLE Extended abstracts (750-1000 words) - 3 hard copies 31 May 1991 Notification of acceptances 17 June 1991 Full formatted papers due 20 August 1991 Symposium 20-23 August 1991 CONFERENCE CONTACTS Correspondence and queries: Dr Terry Dartnall School of Computing and Information Technology Griffith University Nathan Qld 4111 Australia Tel: +61-7-875 5020 Fax: +61-7-875 5198 Email: terryd@gucis.sct.gu.edu.au Abstracts and papers: Ms Fay Sudweeks Department of Architectural and Design Science University of Sydney NSW 2006 Australia Tel: +61-2-692 2328 Fax: +61-2-692 3031 Email: fay@archsci.arch.su.oz.au Registration: Ms Denise Vercoe School of Computing and Information Technology Griffith University Nathan Qld 4111 Australia Tel: +61-7-875 5002 Fax: +61-7-875 5198 End of PSYCOLOQUY Digest ******************************
