Creative system design methodologies: the case of complex technical systems

This paper explores the impact creative engineering design methodologies will have on the development of conceptual system designs for technically complex systems. To meet the requirements of the many innovations of products and their technology, these technically complex systems must be innovative to make effective use of them. This report generates a value-chain that shows the link between cr...

Artificial Creative Systems: Completing the Creative Cycle

Human creativity is personally, socially and culturally situated: creative individuals work within environments rich in personal experiences, social relationships and cultural knowledge. Computational models of creative processes typically neglect some or all of these aspects of human creativity. How can we hope to capture this richness in computational models of creativity? This paper introduc...

Creative Systems as Dynamical Systems

In this paper, we discuss ideas for characterizing a casebased generative system as “creative”. Focusing on a specific generator of graphics, we performed a qualitative exploration of the space of solutions. The emerged intuition is that the set of configurations generated by the program can be viewed both as the conceptual space of a creative system and the phase space of a dynamical system. I...

Small-Scale Creative Systems

Creative computational systems have often been largescale endeavors, based on elaborate models of creativity and sometimes featuring an accumulation of heuristics and numerous subsystems. An argument is presented for facilitating the exploration of creativity through small-scale systems, which can be more transparent, reusable, focused, and easily generalized across domains and languages. These...
