Creativity Support Tools Workshop

IIS-0527109 Ben Shneiderman Ben@cs.umd.edu马里兰大学-学院园区创造力支持工具研讨会将于2005年6月举行，重点讨论促进、加速和促进科学、工程、医学、知识工作、人文研究、艺术等领域的创造力的软件工具设计。研讨会将汇集25-30名来自不同相关学科的顶尖研究人员，如来自学术、企业和政府研究项目的计算机科学、信息系统和心理学，还将包括艺术家、建筑师和其他有创造力的个人。这次研讨会和后续工作的学术价值在于，各组成小组如何共同努力，以(1)加快学科融合的进程，(2)促进严格的研究方法，以及(3)增加研究计划的雄心壮志，这是一个共同的理解。研讨会的更广泛影响源于这样一个事实，即创造力是科学、工程、医疗、文化和经济进步的关键决定因素。因此，改进的创意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的创意工作的速度和质量。讲习班成果将通过讲习班网站(http://www.cs.umd.edu/hcil/CST))和相关通讯、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.
