INJECT: Algorithms to Discover Creative Angles on News
INJECT is a new digitaltool tosupport journalists to think more creativelywhendiscoveringnewangles on stories under devel-opment. It deliversinteractiveand intelligentsupport embeddedin the text editorsthat journalists work with regularly. This support is generated bycombiningcomplex creative searchesofmillionsof related news storiespublished in multiplelanguageswith entityextraction algorithms and interactive creative guidance tailored to news. This paper reportsthetool’sarchitecture, some itsalgo-rithms, and the design decisions made to delivera reliable and us-able tool for journalistsin different newsroomsand work contexts

User roles in asynchronous distributed collaborative idea generation
This paper presents the findings of an exploratory study within a real-life context that investigates participant behaviour and emergent user roles in asynchronous distributed collaborative idea generation by a defined community of users. In the study, a high-fidelity prototype of an online virtual ideas room was built and used by a Community of Interest consisting of representatives from 10 different voluntary organisations spread across Denmark. The study revealed five user roles, which the authors propose that future asynchronous distributed collaborative idea generation platforms should consider

Requirements Engineering as Creative Problem Solving: A Research Agenda for Idea Finding
This vision paper frames requirements engineering as a creative problem solving process. Its purpose is to enable requirements researchers and practitioners to recruit relevant theories, models, techniques and tools from creative problem solving to understand and support requirements processes more effectively. It uses 4 drivers to motivate the case for requirements engineering as a creative problem solving process. It then maps established requirements activities onto one of the longest-established creative problem solving processes, and uses these mappings to locate opportunities for the application of creative problem solving in requirements engineering. The second half of the paper describes selected creativity theories, techniques, software tools and training that can be adopted to improve requirements engineering research and practice. The focus is on support for problem and idea finding - two creative problem solving processes that our investigation revealed are poorly supported in requirements engineering. The paper ends with a research agenda to incorporate creative processes, techniques, training and tools in requirements projects

Inventing Requirements from Software: An Empirical Investigation with Web Services
Service-centric software systems offer new opportunities for requirements processes. This paper reports a new tool designed to increase the completeness of system requirements using information about designs and implementations of web services. It presents an algorithm for retrieving web services in domains that are analogical to a current requirements problem, to support creative thinking about requirements for that problem. It describes how the algorithm parses and analogically matches natural language descriptions of system requirements and web service descriptions. The paper also reports 2 evaluations of the tool that demonstrate improvements to specifications of requirements for a system in the automotive domain

Supporting reflection and creative thinking by carers of older people with dementia

A Computational Model of Analogical Reasoning in Dementia Care
This paper reports a practical application of a computational model of analogical reasoning to a pressing social problem, which is to improve the care of older people with dementia. Underpinning the support for carers for people with dementia is a computational model of analogical reasoning that retrieves information about cases from analogical problem domains. The model implements structure-mapping theory adapted to match source and target domains expressed in unstructured natural language. The model is implemented as a computational service invoked by a mobile app used by carers during their care shifts

Creativity Support for Learning in the Person-Centred Care of Older People with Dementia
We are exploring mechanisms to enhance the person-centred care of older people with dementia with tailored creative thinking and reflective learning techniques. In this paper we report a new tablet-based app to support carers and older people to reminisce, think creatively and learn through reflection. Creativity support is offered though a service that implements the creativity triggers technique adapted to a model of person-centered dementia care
