Proceedings of the 2007 Symposium on Science of Design

Greetings and welcome! We are pleased to share the proceedings of the 1st ACM Science of Design (SoD) Symposium 2007. The Science of Design Symposium is the first step in building a community of practitioners to enable the teaching and practice of creativity and design in computing science from an interdisciplinary perspective. Humboldt State University, Arcata, California hosted this first gathering of what we hope will become a regular event. Our first symposium was an exciting and informative meeting during which our diverse and multidisciplinary group explored these ideas. We look forward to the growth of this community to enable the education of the next generation of creative and innovative computer designers. We accepted seventeen professional short papers for publication and presentation.
