Creativity Support Tools Workshop

IIS-0527109Ben Shneiderman ben@cs.umd. edu马里兰州大学园区创意支持工具研讨会创意支持工具研讨会将于2005年6月举行，重点讨论软件工具的设计，以促进、加速和促进科学、工程、医学、知识工作、人文研究、艺术等领域的创意。研讨会将汇集来自学术，企业和政府研究项目的计算机科学，信息系统和心理学等各个相关学科的25 - 30名领先研究人员，还将包括艺术家，建筑师和其他创意人士。本次研讨会和后续工作的智力价值是各组成团体如何共同努力以（1）加速学科融合进程，（2）促进严格的研究方法，（3）增加研究项目的雄心。研讨会的更广泛的影响源于这样一个事实，即创造力是科学，工程，医学，文化和经济进步的关键决定因素。因此，改进的创造力支持工具可能会给许多领域带来好处，并可以提高许多领域创造性工作的速度和质量。讲习班的成果将通过讲习班网站（http：//www.cs.umd.edu/hcil/CST）以及相关通讯、期刊和会议上的出版物分发。

IIS-0527109Ben Shneiderman ben@cs.umd.eduUniversity of Maryland - College Park Creativity Support Tools Workshop The Workshop on Creativity Support Tools, to be held in June 2005, focuses on the discussion of the design of software tools that promote, accelerate, and facilitate creativity in sciences, engineering, medicine, knowledge work, humanities research, the arts, and beyond. The workshop will bring together 25 - 30 leading researchers from various relevant disciplines such as computer science, information systems, and psychology from academic, corporate and government research programs, and will also include artists, architects and other creative individuals. The intellectual merit of this workshop and ensuing work is the common understanding how the various constituent groups can work together to (1) accelerate the process of disciplinary convergence, (2) promote rigorous research methods, and (3) increase the ambitiousness of research programs. The broader impact of the workshop stems from the fact that creativity is a key determinant of scientific, engineering, medical, cultural, and economic advancement. Therefore, improved creativity support tools are likely to bring benefits to many fields, and can raise the pace and quality of creative work in many areas. Workshop results will be distributed via the workshop web site (http://www.cs.umd.edu/hcil/CST) and publications in relevant newsletters, journals and conferences.
