Description
Summary:Numerous visual programming platforms support the generation, execution and reuse of constructed scientific workflows. However, there has been little effort devoted to building creative software blending systems, capable of composing novel workflows by autonomously combining individual software components or even entire workflows originally designed for solving tasks in different research fields. Based on the review of relevant computational creativity research and of contemporary web platforms for workflow construction, this paper defines the desired functionality of a software blending system. Considering the required autonomy of the system and the workflow complexity limitations, we investigate the necessary conditions for the implementation of a creative blending system within the existing visual programming platforms.
