Scope:
Given the times of uber-fast change and inter/intra-activity we are living in, creativity is a keyfactor of disruptive future developments. Creative and entertainment industries nowadaysrepresent more than 3% of the GDP in Europe and they spread from creative content providers(TV & radio, fashion, music) to creative experience providers (games, movies and musicexperience) through creative services providers (advertising, design, architecture).Creative services, contents or experiences more and more go beyond a single discipline andappear to lie in a sound engagement of the artist/entertainer, the engineer and the scientist.Digital arts, creative and entertainment industries, and (tele)communication/(social) signalprocessing speak the language of convergence rather than discreteness, and their interaction callsfor special attention now more than ever.EAI Transactions on Creative Technologies aims at creating a forge between digital arts, creativeindustries and science. The Journal seeks for high-level contributions addressing several of thoseaspects with a special focus on at least one of them:

Creative Industries - the paper can describe a whole industrial project or frameworkintegrating creative technologies for domains such as:

Creative content providers: TV & radio (broadcast, linked media), fashion (RFID andsensors, energy recycling), games (tourism, cultural heritage), music & movies, books(digitization, sonification), museums and media archives, etc.
Creative services providers: advertising (user-centred web and adds optimization, gamesand interaction for ads), design (communication devices for creative environments),architecture (places which adapt to people, creativity from domotics), new media andtransmedia, etc.
Creative experience providers: games (social and body/gesture interactions), movies andmusic experience (participative creation, DJs and VJs creative tools), etc.
Scientific topics - the paper can focus on scientific tools for creative industries on topicssuch as:

Creative content management: Multimedia data mining and innovative browsing, data2D/3D visualization, digitization and storage, cultural heritage, etc.
Creative interactions: Social signal processing, novel verbal and non verbal, explicit orimplicit interactions, serious games, edutainment, interacting robots, sensors and MOCAP,etc.
Creative experiences: Affective content analysis and synthesis, immersive technologies,special effects, augmented reality, expressivity and emotion detection, user experiences,etc.Additional material such as videos of installations and setups, public/users reactions andcomments, or demo links are welcome.
