In this article, a model of information processing in human creativity
, called the IPC-model, is presented. This model has been developed ba
sed on a review of psychological studies and models. Using this model
as a baseline deficiencies of current AI systems are identified and se
veral approaches for providing them with a higher level of creativity
are proposed. A discussion of the range of applicability of these appr
oaches and their implications for the overall system behaviour is prov
ided.
