Creativity and Rationale in Software Design
Supported by the NSF CreativeIT Program
15-17 June 2008
Penn State University
contact: John M. Carroll; jcarroll@ist.psu.edu
website http://cscl.ist.psu.edu/public/users/jcarroll/NSF-CreativityAndRationale/
Short Description
Creativity and rationale connote the complementary natures of design: creating new worlds through lightning bolts of innovation versus analyzing the underlying tradeoffs in current artifacts and systems to guide the incremental development of new ones. The workshop premise is that these poles should not be merely opposed world-views, and that coordinating them and integrating them is a key to ever having a serious Science of Design.

NSF International Workshop on Studying Design Creativity'08
Design Science, Computer Science, Cognitive Science and Neuroscience Approaches: The State-of-the-Art
10-11 March 2008
University of Provence, Aix-en-Provence, France
contact: Professor John Gero; john@johngero.com
(An invitation only workshop)
website http://mason.gmu.edu/~jgero/conferences/sdc08/
Short Description
Design has become a fruitful research area for cognitive psychologists, cognitive scientists and for design scientists. For the former it represents a particularly rich and open environment within which to study complex human behaviour. For design scientists the tools to study designers are only now becoming available. Design involves the creation of worlds and entails the interaction between minds and the artefacts they produce. This opens a variety of areas for study since designers work with tools, operate solely or within teams. They collaborate with others who are co-located or at a distance. Designers use external symbol systems extensively, particularly sketches which implies a high level of visual reasoning. Designers can be studied in-situ or in laboratory settings or through models of design processes.

Symposium on Computational Approaches to Creativity in Science

Creative Intelligent Systems
AAAI Spring Symposium Series
March 26-28, 2008
Stanford University, Stanford, CA
contact: Dan Ventura
website: http://axon.cs.byu.edu/CreativeAI
Short Description
Although it seems clear that creativity plays an important role in developing intelligent systems, it is less clear how to model, simulate, or evaluate creativity in such systems. In other words, it is often easier to recognize the presence and effect of creativity than to describe or prescribe it. The purpose of this symposium is to explore the synergies between creative cognition and intelligent systems in a cross-disciplinary setting that fosters cooperation both in designing creative systems and in creatively designing systems. This focus on creativity in the context of intelligent systems has the potential for increasing innovation in existing fields of research as well as for defining new fields of study, including Artificially Creative Systems, Computational Models of Human Creativity and Intelligent Systems for Supporting Creativity.
