AIEDAM
Special Issue, Spring 2010, Vol. 24, No. 2
Creativity: Simulation, Stimulation and Studies
Edited by:
Mary Lou Maher, Yong Se Kim & Nathalie Bonnardel
This special issue of
AIEDAM will be devoted to papers concerned with
Creativity.
Engineering Design,
Analysis and Manufacturing rely on creative thought to produce new and
exciting products in new and exciting ways. The study of creativity
provides many opportunities for interdisciplary research between
Engineering, Cognitive Science and Computer Science. This special
issue aims to capture a snapshot of some of the best work in this
intersection of areas.
For this issue, while papers with normal AI content are desired, we
will broaden the scope to also include papers that explicitly discuss
creative thinking, types of reasoning, and explicit use of knowledge.
We are interested in papers about creative results, creative
processes, or both.
Suitable topics include (but are not limited to) the following:
- Computational models, techniques, or systems for simulating
individual or team creativity in engineering (e.g., creative design);
- Computational models, techniques or systems for simulating
influences on creativity in society;
- Computational techniques, systems or environments for stimulating
individual or team creativity in engineering;
- Models of creative reasoning;
- Studies of creative reasoning;
- Techniques for evaluating products and processes for decisions
about creativity.
The special issue will include an invited paper by Professor Gerard
J. Puccio, Chair of the International Center for Studies in
Creativity.
All submissions will be anonymously reviewed by at least three
reviewers. The selection for publication would be made on the basis of
these reviews.

style required for
