SoNIC 2012 - INNS Symposium on Nature Inspired Creativity (SoNIC2012)

Nature inspired computing techniques have successfully been applied to many different kinds of creative applications, notably, in multimedia content generation and content analysis. However, many research issues are still open in this area. The proposed symposium aims to bring together leading researchers and practitioners in this field who are working on applying natural inspired computing techniques to applications in creative industries. It aims to provide the opportunity to promote, present and discuss on-going research in this area.
With the intensive growth of communication channels in the past decades, our lifestyle is dependent on the Internet and the transaction of multimedia contents has never been at this rate in human civilisation. This brings many emerging research issues on content generation and content analysis. The creative industries need computing facilities that could automate/speed up content creation process. The application of natural computing to this area has gained more and more interest from researchers worldwide.
