Knowledge Base Repository
In addition to research papers, the Design Society is developing several valuable resources for those interested in the study of design. These include a repository of PhD theses, a library of case studies and transcripts of design activities, and an archive of our newsletters. Please note that these resources are accessible exclusively to Design Society members.

Abstract:
We describe an experiment in using IBM’s Watson tool in a Georgia Tech Spring 2015 class
on compu-tational creativity. The semester-long projects in the class used Watson as a tool to develop
cognitive assistants in support of biologically inspired design, a well-established paradigm for design
creativity. In this paper, we describe the experiment in using Watson as a creativity support tool and
present two projects in detail. We draw lessons for using Watson for constructing cognitive assistants to
support design creativity.
