<H6 CLASS="MsoNormal">Abstract of Workshop</H6>
Improving Creativity Using "Matrix Algebra"
Creativity begins with ideas. Scholars have addressed the conditions, factors, and processes that stimulate creativity. We present an approach for stimulating individual creativity. We introduce a matrix-representation schema for ideas, as well as, a set of operators to explore, evaluate, and improve ideas. We consider ideas as specifications of artifacts that can be conceived and developed. Artifacts can be physical, intangible, or a mix of both. We define an idea as a matrix construct of features and attributes. Consistent with scholars’ definition of creativity as the ability to create artifacts that are simultaneously novel and useful, we propose a novelty matrix, a usefulness matrix, and a way to integrate the two into a single creativity matrix. We also define a set of creativity operators that use our matrix-expressed ideas as operands to generate, evaluate, rank, and improve ideas. The idea matrix and the set of creativity operators are intended to stimulate and operationalize creativity during an artifact’s development process. We illustrate our approach by considering real-world artifacts. 
Keywords: Creativity, ideation, idea generation, idea evaluation, creativity improvement
