This document provides instructions for a group project on designing an intelligent interface system. Students will work in groups of up to 5 people to identify a problem and design an innovative technology or system solution. They will illustrate their idea through interface design using prototyping tools and present their design. The project aims to stimulate creativity and problem solving. It covers tasks like conducting research, designing the interface, and disseminating the idea in a report. The document provides background on creativity, AI models, and expected results. It also includes the project format, submission instructions, assessment criteria and due date. Groups will be judged on criteria like how well their design achieves its mission and communicates. The best designs will receive higher marks.

Project – YUC Intelligent System
Interface Design Competition
(Innovation and Creative System)
INSTRUCTIONS:
Please submit your completed work in proper PRINTED
DOCUMENT and via Schoology.
Your work must be your own group work. Act of copying is
strictly prohibited and every party involved will be penalized by
deducting 70% of their marks.
DESCRIPTION:
Working in groups of 5 people (maximum), search any topic
from internet to stimulate your idea and creativity. You might
identify the main problems that the user faced in their daily life
or analyze the weaknesses of existing YUC-SIS and YUC E-
learning systems. Then you will provide creative solution using
innovative technology/system (upgrade the system functionality
into Intelligent System or Business Intelligent System). To
realize the designs, gives added value to your system design.
Each group should able to present the idea of how the system
works into graphic/ visual (interface design).

2. TASKS:
1. Read about Creativity below.
2. Do literatures review from Google or from given list of
Bibliography.
3. Design your invention into Interface Design and using any
solution models
4. Goto http://www.scoop.it/t/kaymarlyn and select ‘Tools’
tags under ‘Search in topic’ menu. Study and learn about “60
User Interface Design Tools A Web Designer Must Have” and
other prototyping and mockup tools from the page.
5. Illustrate your idea into interface design using the selected
best tool for your Design Category and provide the explanation.
You might search from the Internet using keywords to view
other example of process or models.
6. Disseminate your idea and how your system works into
proper formatted report.
7. Presentation will determined the winners ranking and will
contribute max 35/50 marks from the total marks.
8. Shows all the workload distribution among your group
members in the given table.
9. Lastly, provide all the references and websites that you
visited and used in the report.

Creativity
Creativity involves the generation of new ideas or the
recombination of known elements into something new,
providing valuable solutions to a problem. It also involves
motivation and emotion. Creativity “is a fundamental feature of

3. human intelligence in general. It is grounded in everyday
capacities such as the association of ideas, reminding,
perception, analogical thinking, searching a structured problem-
space, and reflecting self-criticism. It involves not only a
cognitive dimension (the generation of new ideas) but also
motivation and emotion, and is closely linked to cultural
context and personality factors.” (Boden 1998).
Fundamental concepts for all creative techniques are:
· The suspension of premature judgment and the lack of
filtering of ideas.
· Use the intermediate impossible.
· Create analogies and metaphors, through symbols, etc., by
finding similarities between the situations, which we wish to
understand and another situation, which we already understand.
· Build imaginative and ideal situations (invent the ideal
vision).
· Find ways to make the ideal vision happen.
· Relate things or ideas which were previously unrelated.
· Generate multiple solutions to a problem.
AI (artificial intelligence) models of creativity
AI deals with solving non-quantified, unstructured problems. Its
task is about knowledge representation and reasoning and to
build intelligent, rational, and autonomous agents. Current AI
models of creativity involve different types and appropriate
techniques of supporting the generation of new ideas. According
to Margaret Boden (1998), in respect to the three types of
creativity, there are also three main types of computer models
that involve:
1. The stimulation of the combination of ideas, mainly by using
analogies in the sense that associated ideas shares some inherent
conceptual structure.
2. The exploration of structured concepts, so that novel and
unexpected ideas result. It requires considerable domain-
expertise and analytical power to define the conceptual space

4. and to specify procedures that enable its potential to be
explored.
3. The transformation of a problem, so that new structures can
be generated which could not have arisen before. New solutions
to a problem can be created with transforming a problem into a
new problem, solve the new problem and then adapting the
solution back to the original problem.
AI employs symbolic approaches for creative problem solving
and includes stimulus such as heuristics, search, weak methods,
knowledge representation and reasoning to facilitate problem
structuring and idea generation. The focus of AI creativity
techniques in the form of computerized programs, is to help
users to take a fresh look at problems by guiding what may be a
user’s otherwise undisciplined intuition through a series of
problem-solving exercises, and to think in non-linear et non-
logical ways. The main advantage of computerized, guided
problem solving is that the programs prompt a user for ideas in
a thorough manner. Recent programs of AI include also
knowledge-based approaches, using large-scale databases and
narrative systems (Chen 1998). AI researches have also
developed efficient search algorithms for problem solving.
Some expected results of the creativity process are:
· innovation through new product and process ideas
· continuous improvement of products or services
· productivity increase
· efficiency
· rapidity
· flexibility
· quality of products or services
· high performance
