KICSS 2012 is now officially sponsored by IEEE SMC! As a result and due to author requests, we have extended the submission deadline to May 28, 2012

Welcome!

Creativity, to varying degree, is virtually existent in every aspect of life and in each of us. The ever-changing and conflicting world requires creative thinking, innovative ideas and implementations to stir us through competition, deal with challenges and to be successful. While creativity is seen as a human endeavour that cannot be fully replicated yet, there are certainly views and acknowledgement that support mechanisms and systems could aid the creative pursuit. Indeed research on creativity support systems is now an emerging field. Naturally multi-disciplinary in its nature, it is where advances and innovations are combined through a wide range of scientific, technological and management disciplines in systems practices. The KICSS conference aims to facilitate technology and knowledge exchange among researchers and practitioners in the field of knowledge science, information technology, systems science to enable creativity support and advance systems in aiding creativity pursuits.

The 7th KICSS will be held in Melbourne, Australia and will continue the success of its previous organisation to further this exchange and collaboration among researchers and practitioners. The conference venue is located in the city centre close to the Melbourne arts precinct as well as the Federation Square, where innovation and creativity in all forms are showcased and celebrated.
