      General Information
ACM
 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.    

    
      Creativity
 and Cognition papers address the impact of computing on individual 
creative experiences, as well as social and collaborative contexts. In 
all cases, 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. 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.    

    
      We
 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.    

    
      As
 in the CHI conference, reviewers will be asked to focus on the 
significance of the submission’s contribution, originality and validity,
 the quality of the presentation, and the benefit others can gain from 
its results.

understandings of digital/computational environments.        

      
* 
        
          New methodologies and theories for investigating the impact of
