Objective

Creativity Support Tools is a topic with high risk but potentially very high payoff. This workshop brought together leading academic and industrial researchers together to share experiences, identify opportunities, and formulate a research agenda.
It explored the assumption that innovation, discovery, exploration, and creativity are potent terms in academic communities such as the data mining, knowledge discovery, information visualization, search interfaces, product design, and collaboration technologies.
