Construção de um serviço web para promover a integração de ferramentas de criatividade

Abstract

Creativity techniques are often used by numerous organizations and there are a considerable number of creative techniques for various purposes. Some creativity techniques are also supported by computational tools, called creativity tools, but there are no great efforts to integrate these tools. The great motivation of the integration of creativity tools lies in the fact that this could facilitate the sharing of information between different applications but implementing the same creative technique. This work aims to develop a way to integrate creative tools quickly and consistently. Two techniques of creativity were chosen: Brainwriting and Idea advocate; for each technique, usage scenarios were identified and a data model was defined. A web service was developed to promote the integration of creativity tools, followed by a case study to validate the service through the evaluation of its use by two tools that implement the techniques of Brainwriting and Ideia advocate. These tools were created In two course completion work and served to evaluate our service.
