Abstract

Computer-supported creativity techniques can help people finding creative solutions for their problems. However, real-life creative processes demand a high level of flexibility of the support systems, which are normally tailored for one specific creativity technique only. We present a model for creativity-technique based problem solving processes that incorporates a variety of creativity techniques and can be a promising starting point towards more flexible creativity support systems in the future.
