             *Workshop Description and Relevant Research Areas*

Problem solving and collaboration are clearly creative processes, so it seems
very reasonable to formalise and to apply cognitive theories about creativity in
agent systems to improve problem solving and collaboration capabilities. The
goal of this workshop is to provide a venue for contributions that take this
creative perspective, and that improve the capabilities of single- and multi-
agent systems by using creative methods.

We envision approaches that are driven by cognitive theories about creativity to
improve agent reasoning, problem solving and collaborative behaviour. We also
envision approaches that focus on producing arts, and on proving and indicating
correctness of cognitive theories about creativity by simulating them in an
artificial single- or multi-agent environment. We hope that contributions in
this field shed light on the following questions: “What is the role of
creativity in problem solving and collaboration, and also “What is the role of
problem solving and collaboration in creativity?" We invite researchers to
submit fresh or preliminary ideas about all aspects of creativity in agent
systems. We welcome contributions with a neuronal connectionist background as
well as those that focus more on logical symbolicist theories. We especially
encourage also hybrid approaches, with the aim to foster an interdisciplinary
discussion and cross-fertilisation between the two communities.
