Creativity has been a growing topic in the ACM community since the 1990s; however, no
clear overview of this trend has been offered. We present a thorough survey of 998 creativity …

This paper presents a five-phase taxonomy of systematic procedures to enable flexibility in
the design and management of engineering systems operating under uncertainty. The …

How to selecting a small subset out of the thousands of genes in microarray data is
important for accurate classification of phenotypes. Widely used methods typically rank …

PD questions major assumptions about technologies in workplaces, communities, homes,
and social institutions. It is not coincidental that PD offers these challenges at a time when …

In this paper a 'creative design process' is proposed, based on an integration between a
modernised consensus view of both the design process from engineering design and the …

Derived from the psychometric tradition of creativity research, divergent thinking (DT) tests
are the major instrument for measuring people's creative potential. Although still prevalent …

The use of examples serves a critical role in creative design practice, but details of this
process remain an enigma. This is problematic for both the understanding of design activity …

Iterative prototyping helps designers refine their ideas and discover previously unknown
issues and opportunities. However, the time constraints of production schedules can …

From simple vibrations to roles in complex multisensory systems, haptic technology is often
a critical, expected component of user experience–one face of the rapid progression …

Prototypes ground group communication and facilitate decision making. However, overly
investing in a single design idea can lead to fixation and impede the collaborative process …
