The present research aimed to examine how social comparison and individual differences in creativity might influence creative performance and attention paid to ideas generated by a partner during an electronic brainstorming session. After completing a creativity scale, forty-one psychology undergraduates generated ideas by computer with a remote partner/confederate presented as a student in eit...

Much focus has been given to the Net Generation and how they learn and interact with the world. In our Centre we faced the interesting challenge of working with Net Generation graduates, and inducting them into the world of work in the emerging field of educational technology. This paper reports on a three year intern program and describes experiences and challenges of learning about e-learning.

This paper presents a speciic part of HUGG, a generation grammar for Hebrew. This part deals with determiners and quantiiers. Our main goal is to determine which set of features must be present in the input to the generation grammar to control the generation of complex determiners and quantiiers. Hebrew determiners are characterized by two properties: (1) deeniteness is marked in several places...

In this paper, we present performance comparisons between two popular elitism–based evolutionary multi-objective optimization algorithms -NSGA2 and SPEA2 in the presence of noise. Three test problems and six noise levels are employed in the research experiments. The results show that SPEA2 outperforms NSGA2 in the early generations. NSGA2, however, is superior during latter generations regardle...

We present a model for growing procedural road networks in and close to cities. The main idea of our paper is that a city cannot be meaningfully simulated without taking its neighbourhood into account. A simple traffic simulation that considers this neighbourhood is then used to grow new major roads and to influence the locations of minor road growth. Waterways are introduced and used to help p...
