At EPSRC Workshop "Maths of Life"

In April, the UK Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) has issued a call for Proposals with the topic "Maths of Life". Reinhold Behringer's submission was accepted, and he attended this workshop on 6.May 2009 in London. His initial intention was to propose the study of artificial creativity in the sense of artistic creativity, as outlined in this Leeds Met research reflection. At the workshop itself, however, this idea was modified towards a more open approach for a mathematical model of all human creativity. There were 74 registered participants at this workshop, and nine different challenge topic emerged from the discussions, "Artificial Creativity" being one of them.

A call for a Sandpit with one of the challenges as the topic will be issued by EPSRC within the next 2 weeks.
