This article presents the results of an online creativity experiment (N = 81) that examines the effect of example timing on creative output. In the between-subjects experiment, participants drew animals to inhabit an alien Earth-like planet while being exposed to examples early, late, or repeatedly during the experiment. We find that exposure to examples increases conformity. Early exposure to ...

Data analysts would benefit greatly from the ability to navigate and view combined multidimensional data from multiple sources, a key requirement of which is the conformity between their dimensions. The strict requirements of conformity restrict navigating to related multidimensional data from unseen or unfamiliar sources. In this paper we make a distinction between conformed dimension tables a...

In this paper we present a systematic approach for the determination of process conformity and the integration of process models. Similar to CMM which defines consecutive levels of process maturity, we propose a five-level model measuring the conformity of process models. The approach is of practical importance for a number of applications, e.g. when a company’s process model has to be checked ...

Groups can make better decisions than individuals when members cooperatively exchange and integrate their uniquely held information and insights. However, under conformity pressures group members are biased towards exchanging commonly known information, and away from exchanging unique information, thus undermining group decision-making quality. At the neurobiological level, conformity associate...

Given the current trend of public procurement of accessible products and services, including software, there is a need for the suppliers to demonstrate that a software product conforms to accessibility requirements. This is called software accessibility conformity assessment. Today, the evaluation process, and the techniques and tools required to do this, is not as well defined as it is in othe...
