Computational Creativity Concept Invention and General Intelligence in their own right all
are flourishing research disciplines producing surprising and captivating results that
continuously influence and change our view on where the limits of intelligent machines lie
each day pushing the boundaries a bit further. By 2014 all three fields also have left their
marks on everyday life ¿ machine-composed music has been performed in concert halls automated
theorem provers are accepted tools in enterprises¿ R&D departments and cognitive architectures
are being integrated in pilot assistance systems for next generation airplanes. Still although
the corresponding aims and goals are clearly similar (as are the common methods and approaches)
the developments in each of these areas have happened mostly individually within the respective
community and without closer relationships to the goings-on in the other two disciplines. In
order to overcome this gap and to provide a common platform for interaction and exchange
between the different directions the International Workshops on ¿Computational Creativity
Concept Invention and General Intelligence¿ (C3GI) have been started. At ECAI-2012 and
IJCAI-2013 the first and second edition of C3GI each gathered researchers from all three
fields presenting recent developments and results from their research and in dialogue and
joint debates bridging the disciplinary boundaries. The chapters contained in this book are
based on expanded versions of accepted contributions to the workshops and additional selected
contributions by renowned researchers in the relevant fields. Individually they give an
account of the state-of-the-art in their respective area discussing both theoretical
approaches as well as implemented systems. When taken together and looked at from an
integrative perspective the book in its totality offers a starting point for a (re)integration
of Computational Creativity Concept Invention and General Intelligence making visible common
lines of work and theoretical underpinnings and pointing at chances and opportunities arising
from the interplay of the three fields.
