Creative computing

Creative computing covers the area of creativity and computing, addressing the issue of knowledge discovery.

The International Journal of Creative Computing describes creative computing as follows:

Creative computing refers to a meta-technology to coalesce knowledge in computing and other disciplines. IJCrC highlights creativity in the technological domain to utilise fully knowledge in the human domain while not excluding creativity in the latter. People use computers as aids to creativity and creative-computing topics may reshape the world as we know it. Applications are seen in arts, entertainment/games, mobile applications, multimedia, product/web design and other interactive systems.

Creative computing is interdisciplinary in nature and topics relating to it include applications, development method, evaluation, modelling, philosophy, principles, support environment, and theory.

A number of university degree programmes in Creative Computing exist, for example at:

The International Journal of Creative Computing is a quarterly peer-reviewed scientific journal published by Inderscience Publishers, covering creativity in computing and the other way around. The editor-in-chief is Hongji Yang (Bath Spa University).
