We live in an era when a remarkable number of new information and other technologies are successfully bypassing the main obstacle to technological advance: technology support network (TSN). Technology support net, when fully established and fixed, erects significant barriers to innovation. Innovation is not free and autonomous process of applied creativity, but is technically, economically and ...

In this paper we present an approach based on the view that creativity is essentially determined by social evaluation and that any computational modelling of creativity needs to account for this. Directions for modelling creative social systems are suggested based on results of computational social simulations of creativity and innovation.

This paper establishes an ontology of creativity and innovation processes. A comprehensive review was undertaken describing the four key perspectives of creativity research, namely the creative-output, -process, -person and -environment. The focus of this review is based around the metrics for measuring creativity from each of the above perspectives. These metrics are drawn together in a common...
