ICCC'25: Call for Full Papers

The 16th International Conference on Computational Creativity (ICCC’25) will be held in Campinas, Brazil, from June 23 to 27, 2025. ICCC welcomes papers on various aspects of Computational Creativity (CC).

About Computational Creativity

Computational Creativity (CC) explores the potential for computers to be creative, either in partnership with humans or as autonomous creators. It has roots in Artificial Intelligence, Cognitive Science, Engineering, Design, Psychology, and Philosophy.

Themes and Topics

Original research contributions are solicited in all areas related to Computational Creativity research and practice, including, but not limited to:

• Applications of Computational Creativity
• Human-Machine Co-Creativity
• Computational Creativity Evaluation
• Social Models
• Computational Paradigms
• Interdisciplinary Perspectives
• Data and Creativity
• Societal Impact
• Psychological Factors
• Provocations

Note on generative AI models: While the study of generative AI models is welcomed, such models and their application must be properly situated in the CC literature and evaluated according to acceptable practices in the field.

Paper Types

We welcome the submission of five different types of full papers:

• Technical papers
• System or Resource description papers
• Study papers
• Cultural application papers
• Position papers

ICCC emphasizes the empirical and theoretical evaluation of technical systems, results and outcomes, in an ethical and scientific fashion. Evaluation is expected in Technical papers (strong evaluation) and in System or Resource description papers. Although evaluation is not required in other types of papers, the contribution of the paper to CC should be made clear.

All submissions will be reviewed in terms of quality, impact, and relevance to the area of Computational Creativity.

Presentation

To be included in the proceedings, each paper must be presented at the conference by one of the authors. This implies that at least one author will have to register and will have to participate live in the session in which their paper is presented, including the designated question-and-answer period.

Submission Instructions

This year the submission process has two stages: initial submission of a title and abstract, and subsequent submission of the full paper a week later.

• Recommended length for the abstract is 100–200 words.
• The full paper page limit is 8 pages + up to 2 pages of references.
• Papers will be reviewed in a double-blind fashion.
• To be considered, papers must be submitted as a PDF document formatted according to ICCC style (which is similar to AAAI and IJCAI formats).
• You can download the updated ICCC’25 LaTeX template here and Word template here.
• Submit your abstract via the EasyChair system here. You are required to fill out author(s) information, a title, abstract and keywords.
• Submit your full paper by updating the EasyChair Abstract with your manuscript file.
• Papers must be submitted through the EasyChair platform: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=iccc202501
• Double submissions policy: Work submitted to ICCC should not be under review in another scientific conference or journal at the time of submission.

Camera-Ready Submission Instructions

To submit the camera-ready version, log into the EasyChair platform, select your paper, click “update file” and upload the camera-ready version of your paper.

Please bear in mind that:

• Papers should be no more than 8 page sides in length + 2 pages of references.
