Computer support of innovation´s Creativity

Abstract

Using of algorithmic methods of the intensification of constructive process logically results in an idea for the creation of computer programs capable of raising efficiency of invention and design activity. In a basis of most effective methods of engineering creativity lays TRIZ - the theory of the solving of the invention tasks. On the basis of this theory a number of software packages are being created, for use by a variety of users who are not familiar with TRIZ at all and only having the basic skills of work with the personal computer. In this report the features of some of these programs are discussed, their advantages and shortcomings are compared, the examples of their use in invention practice are resulted.
