It's hard to define, but many of those who have experienced Google Wave thus far in its brief public preview seem to agree with me that the potential of Wave both for games themselves and for intelligent conversation about games is pretty much unlimited. I've already decided that I'm going to run an essential part of my advanced Latin course this spring on Wave, and we also have introductory RP courses in Latin and Greek going.<br /> <br /> So this is an invitation to VGHVI's presence on Wave.

It's hard to define, but many of those who have experienced Google Wave thus far in its brief public preview seem to agree with me that the potential of Wave both for games themselves and for intelligent conversation about games is pretty much unlimited. I've already decided that I'm going to run an essential part of my advanced Latin course this spring on Wave, and we also have introductory RP courses in Latin and Greek going.<br /> <br /> So this is an invitation to VGHVI's presence on Wave. If you're already in the Wave preview, post with your Google info so I can add you to the VGHVI group in Google groups, which will in turn let you add yourself to the VGHVI waves. If you're not in the preview yet, post your e-mail here and someone who has invites will make sure you get one, since it seems like lots of people have extras. If you're worried about spam, put it in some such form as "Roger Travis Junior (one word with the suffix abbreviated) chez gamma-mail punctum com."<br /> <br /> In all of this, of course, our unique abbreviation (I won't say "acronym," because it's unpronounceable) is of great help. Whether in Wave or in Google Groups, go ahead and search on "VGHVI," and I think you'll probably find us.<br /> <br /> Once you're on Wave, it seems to be the best approach to type "group:vghvinet@googlegroups.com" into the bar at the top of your inbox. Evidence suggests that that will bring up all the VGHVI waves, which you'll then be able to join if you're in the Google Group. tag:vghvinet.ning.com,2009-06-09:2423016:Event:7603 2009-06-09T17:04:30.603Z Erik Hanson

Although it seems clear that creativity plays an important role in developing intelligent computational systems, it is less clear how to model, simulate, or evaluate creativity in such systems. In other words, it is often easier to recognize the presence and effect of creativity than to describe or prescribe it.<br /> The purpose of this conference is to facilitate the exchange of ideas on the topic of computational creativity in a cross-disciplinary setting.

Although it seems clear that creativity plays an important role in developing intelligent computational systems, it is less clear how to model, simulate, or evaluate creativity in such systems. In other words, it is often easier to recognize the presence and effect of creativity than to describe or prescribe it.<br /> The purpose of this conference is to facilitate the exchange of ideas on the topic of computational creativity in a cross-disciplinary setting. It will bring together people from AI, Cognitive Science and related areas such as Psychology, Philosophy and the Arts who research questions related to the notion of creativity as it relates to computational systems.
