Converging on the Divergent: The History (and Future) of the International Joint Workshops in Computational Creativity

We survey the history of studies of Computational Creativity, following the development of the International Conference on Computational Creativity from its beginnings, a decade ago, in two parallel workshop series. We give a brief outline of key issues, and a summary of the various different approaches taken by participants in the research field. The outlook is optimistic: a lot has been achieved in 10 years.
