Two Day Workshop: Studying Design Creativity- Design Science, Computer Science, Cognitive Science and Neuroscience Approaches: The State of the Art

对创造力的研究最近才集中在有潜力可转让的过程问题上，从而为提高设计的创造力提供了基础。这项建议旨在通过一个由来自四个不同领域的领先研究人员组成的研讨会，将创造力研究的方法应用于创造性的IT设计：设计科学、计算机科学、认知科学和神经科学。将来自这些不同社区的国际研究人员聚集在一起，将为跨学科研究提供机会，并使这四门科学中的每一门在创造性信息技术的背景下相互接触研究和研究方法。研讨会将在欧洲举行，为期两天，既是因为大部分研究是在美国以外进行的，也是为了促进国际合作。位于普罗旺斯艾克斯市的普罗旺斯大学认知心理学系通过博纳德尔教授主动提出担任研讨会的东道主并提供场地。从马赛和巴黎到普罗旺斯大学都很方便。预计学术成果将是围绕信息技术创造力的新研究领域建立社区，以及将定义最先进的、经过充分编辑的商业出版的会议记录。更广泛的影响：IT的创造力可能对变革性的产品和流程至关重要。该讲习班的成果将成为制定研究创意设计师的研究议程的基础，并为提高信息技术设计师的创造力的教育议程提供基础。从研究设计创造力中获得的知识有可能形成创新设计的新型支持工具的基础。

Research into creativity has only recently focused on process issues that have the potential to be transferable and hence provide the basis for the enhancement of creativity in design. This proposal addresses the need to bring the methods of creativity research to bear onto creative IT design through a Workshop of leading researchers from four disparate areas: design science, computer science, cognitive science, and neuroscience. Bringing together international researchers from these different communities will provide opportunities for trans-disciplinary research and for each of these four sciences to expose each to the others research and research methods within the context of creative IT. The workshop, which will be scheduled over two days, is being held in Europe both because much of this research is being carried on outside the USA and to foster international collaboration. The Department of Cognitive Psychology at the University of Provence in Aix-en-Provence, through Professor Bonnardel, has offered to be the host for the Workshop and to provide the venue. The University of Provence is readily accessible from Marseille and from Paris.The intellectual outcomes are expected to be both the building of community around new research areas in creativity in IT and fully edited, commercially published proceedings that will define the state-of-the-art. The broader impacts: Creativity in IT may be pivotal to transformational products and processes. The outcomes of this workshop will form the basis of the development of a research agenda for studying creative designers and provide the basis for an education agenda to improve the creativity of IT designers. The knowledge derived from studying design creativity has the potential to form the foundations of new kinds of support tools for creative designing.
