INTETAIN 2014 - 6th International Conference on Intelligent Technologies for Interactive Entertainment

Creativity is a widely accepted concept loosely referred to as a resource or a capacity to bring about ideas and visions transformed into a body of work. Creativity encompasses making, playing, and designing meaningful opportunities such as interactive media systems and experiences. For INTETAIN 2014, we welcome researchers in science and engineering and creative practitioners to come together and explore how shared media networks, shared production, and shared experiences may make use of a notion such as distributed creativity.
We invite the submission of research papers and posters, panel discussions, creative technology demonstrations, and workshop proposals that address all aspects of design, production, distribution, and assessment of interactive making and playing.

TYPES OF SUBMISSION
Papers
Posters
Panel Discussions
Special Sessions
A Special Session is a Paper Session curated for a dedicated topic, and may involve a dedicated review committee with specialized knowledge in the subject area.
Workshops
Workshops are half-day events that present working information on a technology implementation and related creative applications. Workshops may be scheduled on the day before the conference begins.
Intelligent Interaction Creative Showcase
The Showcase will present live demonstrations of creative applications for intelligent interaction.
Game Jam Research Proposal
Research Proposals will be accepted for study of an annual 24-hour Game Jam held at Columbia College Chicago in early May. Proposals will detail data collection instruments and methods that can be applied pre, post, and concurrent with the Game Jam event. Selected proposals will be prepared for data collection to be performed during the May 2014 Game Jam. Accepted proposers may participate in the collection process remotely or on the Columbia College Chicago campus. Resulting data will be provided to the proposers before May 31 so that they can prepare a discussion of their proposal including initial analyses of the results.
