Nature inspired computing techniques have successfully been applied to many 
different kinds of creative applications, notably, in multimedia content 
generation and content analysis. However, many research issues are still open in 
this area. The proposed symposium aims to bring together leading researchers and 
practitioners in this field who are working on applying natural inspired computing 
techniques to applications in creative industries. It aims to provide the 
opportunity to promote, present and discuss on-going research in this area. 

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
1. Application of Nature Inspired Computing in Creative Industries: Creative 
computing for digital multimedia; Computer-generated contents for film, games and
