Creativity and Cognition 2015 invites papers, posters, demonstrations
workshops and Artworks investigating how interactive computing systems
and sociotechnical processes affect creativity. 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. Creativity is
the font of innovation.</span></span> </p>

and Cognition papers address the impact of computing on individual
creative experiences, as well as social and collaborative contexts. In
all cases, <i>we seek for the presentation of work to include forms of
validation featuring data about people, in order to show how computing
environments impact human creativity.</i> The data can take many forms,
including qualitative, quantitative, and sensory. Creativity and
Cognition 2015 will present papers addressing: (1) creativity support
environments, (2) studies of technology, people, and creativity, and (3)
creative works that utilize computing to engage, stimulate, and provoke
human experience.</span></span> </p>

see research on the impact of computing on creativity not as a
fledgling field, in which methodologies are unknown and uncertain, but
rather as having reached a relatively mature state, in which various
diverse methodologies have been developed and applied. Methodologies and
theories, while perpetually under development, are already quite
viable.</span></span> </p>
