SGER: Preliminary Computational Studies of Societal Factors in Creative Designing

这个SGER项目的范围可以代表变革性的研究，了解社会因素如何影响创意设计。这是一个重要的问题，在信息技术和计算系统设计的创造力是至关重要的。以前的计算研究的创造力，无论是在模拟创造力或研究生产的创造力支持工具，主要集中在个人。社会因素及其对创造力的影响的研究还很少。本研究计划旨在利用计算机科学、认知科学和社会心理学中的智能体和社会交互的新计算模型来解决社会因素在创造性设计中的影响。SGER项目有可能为基于情境的创造性设计的新一类模拟奠定基础，建设性代理人。它可以开辟未来研究的一个领域，允许调查以前不容易进行计算研究的一系列因素。

The scope of this SGER project could represent transformative research in the understanding of how societal factors influence creative design. This is an important issue in Information Technology and Computing where creativity in system design is critical.Previous computational research in creativity, whether on simulating creativity or research on producing creativity support tools, focused primarily on the individual. There has been little research on societal factors and their influence on creativity.This research proposal aims to address the effects of societal factors in creative designing using novel computational models of both agents and social interactions derived from computer science, cognitive science and social psychology.This SGER project has the potential to lay the foundation for a new class of simulations of creative designing based on situated, constructive agents. It could open up an area of future research that allows the investigation of a range of factors previously not readily amenable to computational study.
