“…We focused on electronic brainstorming because it is one of the most common creativity techniques. Knoll et al [28] stated that most of the creativity techniques or idea generation techniques support an associative process with external stimuli, which are received through the five senses of the individual. Thus, brainstorming contains general rules to support a process, which is the basis for many other creativity techniques.…”

Previous research has shown that diversity within distributed collaborative teams can lead to innovation, but trust must exist for the open expression of innovative ideas and establishment of idea credibility. Initial trust is pivotal for distributed teams where team members have never met face-to-face and have only a very limited time to accomplish a task. Our goal is to determine if knowing specific information about other team members could enhance initial trust and improve productivity and satisfaction in idea generation and idea evaluation sessions. In an experiment, we showed that cognitive and affective trust could be successfully enhanced by presenting relevant information elements, such as domain expertise and personal hobbies, and could have positive effects on the quality and quantity of ideas in idea generation sessions as well as the satisfaction of the participants with the rating result in idea evaluation sessions. However, participants receiving personal information often misconstrue this as professional competency. We also describe gender differences observed in the idea generation sessions and discuss how to better design future systems for supporting idea generation and idea evaluation activities.

“…Henninger et al [2] suggest that the difference is caused by the cognitive effort required for reading the ideas, which is not calculated in the experiments with a nominal brainstorming approach. Other effects discussed are production blocking (waiting for a speaking turn) attention/concentration blocking (holding on to an idea) and attenuation blocking and evaluation apprehension (considering the relevance of the idea) [13,15] further, the effect of stimuli [16,17] in a positive sense, or as cognitive interference or spreading [18], when other ideas interrupt, or lead to distracting association are important factors that indicate that cognitive load of the brainstorming task affects productivity. Potter and Balthazard [19] did an more extensive study on these phenomena and listed distraction from reading, cognitive effort of formulating and typing ideas, striving for originality (a cognitive judgment of quality), cognitive effort of trying to understand the ideas of others and cognitive effort of trying to follow someone else's train of thought instead of one's own.…”

“…To stimulate the creativity of ideas various interventions have been described. Productivity can be affected by setting a target [22] and by offering stimuli [16,17], Some brainstorming methods encourage people to build on each other's ideas [10], or even to criticize them to stimulate improvement [14]. However, criticizing does shift attention to cognitive processes that are less productive in creating new ideas.…”

Designing collaboration support is a complex social technical task. One of the key production factors in collaboration is cognitive effort. Understanding the cognitive load involved in collaborative tasks is therefore important to support the design of collaboration support. In this paper we derive a framework of cognitive activities involved in brainstorming, a very common and well-studied collaborative task. The framework is based on an overview of brainstorming techniques, and literature on brainstorming. Based on the framework, several techniques to reduce cognitive load from education literature are revised, and we discuss their implications for the design of brainstorming tools. The paper ends with a reflection on the use and implications of the framework.

“…Talking about creativity, there are few efforts tried to apply creativity techniques to a variety of approaches for supporting a group ideation process such as [23]. These techniques can be executed using a Group Support System (GSS), thus allowing the ideation process to be distributed across geographical distances [23].…”

Today, idea generation is an extremely important activity for both academic researchers and industrial groups. A considerable number of applications and research studies have been made in the past years in order to increase the effectiveness of idea making process. However, there is lack of efforts on making machine generated ideas novel, surprising and valuable. This research uses concept machine ideation for machinery creative ideas generation and aims to discuss the realistic of bespoke machines ideation, which is simplified as bespoke ideation in the main text. After carefully reviewed the current situation of human ideation, it raises challenge issue to be addressed in this paper. Then, it reviews representative human ideation cases and summarises an overview process for general human ideation. Moreover, it simulates the overview process into a machine ideation process. Next, related concepts and techniques are discussed including Creative Computing, new idea, and creativity. Based on the discussions and the simulated machine ideation process, this paper provides a Creative Computing method to achieve bespoke ideation. Then, detailed techniques and rules that needed to be designed and applied are planned and explained for all the phases to fulfil the machine ideation approach as bespoke approach. Furthermore, a prototype of Research Topics Generation System (RTGS) is developed as a bespoke ideation system to illustrate the proposed approach as well as prove the approach's feasibility, in which a set of new research topics on a designated domain is generated to inspire further studies. The main contribution of this paper is the proposed bespoke ideation approach, by which machine ideation is possible to be achieved in reality.
