Computers and creativity support: knowledge, visualisation and collaboration

摘要

This paper is concerned with research into creativity and how it might inform our understanding of knowledge-based computer support. Aspects of creativity research are explored and two case studies by the author are described. The implications of knowledge-intensive work including visualisation and collaboration for computer support are discussed. Finally, future research directions that combine the aims, objectives and techniques of both the artificial intelligence and human-computer interaction communities are outlined.
