Workshop: Graduate Student Symposium at ACM Creativity & Cognition (C&C 2011) Conference

第八届计算机协会（ACM）创造力与认知会议（C&C 2011）将于2011年11月3日至6日在乔治亚理工学院举行，届时将召集来自创造力、认知和计算思维领域的不同研究人员。随着信息技术在创造性思维和解决问题的活动中越来越普遍，人们越来越需要通过协同的跨学科方法和模型来研究和理解创造力和计算，以推进计算机科学和信息技术、认知科学、工程、设计、艺术和教育。2011年ACM C&amp；C会议的主题是创造力和技术：理解人类创造力的多种表现形式，设计新的互动技术和工具来增强和扩大人类的创造力，并利用计算媒体技术探索人类所有活动中的新的创造过程和人工制品。青年学者的指导和参与是培育和鼓励在创造力和认知领域跨越不同学科界限的兴趣和互动的关键。C&amp；C 2011研究生研讨会是一个全天的活动，由12位年轻学者参加，他们的研究领域有助于理解创造力和认知。研讨会是一个论坛，在一个支持性的环境中，由高级研究人员和从业人员组成的小组讨论和接受反馈和指导。招募多样化的学生参与者对于扩大研讨会期间讨论的参与和研究视角至关重要。为了达到这个目标，参加研讨会的学生资格包括有前途的高年级本科生。研讨会领导人还制定了一项积极的计划，从少数民族院校和本科院校招募与会者。研究生专题讨论会的论文包括在会议记录中，以将他们的研究整合到会议上展示的更大的研究经典中。

The 8th Association for Computer Machinery (ACM) Creativity & Cognition Conference (C&C 2011), to be held November 3-6, 2011 at the Georgia Institute of Technology, will convene a diverse group of researchers working in the areas of creativity, cognition, and computational thinking. As information technology is increasingly prevalent in creative thinking and problem solving activities, there is a growing need to study and understand creativity and computing through synergistic cross-disciplinary methods and models to advance computer science and information technology, cognitive science, engineering, design, the arts and education. The ACM C&C 2011 conference theme is Creativity and Technology: to understand human creativity in its many manifestations, to design new interactive techniques and tools to augment and amplify human creativity, and to use computational media technologies to explore new creative processes and artifacts in all human endeavors.Mentoring and involving young scholars is the key to seed and encourage interests and interactions across diverse disciplinary boundaries in the field of creativity and cognition. The C&C 2011 Graduate Student Symposium is a full-day event for a group of twelve young scholars, in the areas of study that contribute to understanding creativity and cognition. The symposium is a forum to discuss and receive feedback and guidance from a panel of senior researchers and practitioners in a supportive setting. The recruitment of a diverse set of student participants is critical to broadening the participation and research perspectives discussed during the symposium. To attain this goal student eligibility for the symposium includes promising senior-level undergraduates. The symposium leaders have also put into place a proactive plan to recruit participants from minority-serving and undergraduate institutions. Graduate Student Symposium papers are included in the conference proceedings to integrate their research into the larger canon of research presented at the conference.
