GC-MAS - A Multiagent System for Building Creative Groups Used in Computer Supported Collaborative Learning

Group creativity is a hot topic in the creativity literature, yet no method to obtain the most creative teams given a group of individuals is available. We introduce here a method for building creative teams, based on unsupervised learning and implemented with support from a multiagent system. Our first experiments with using this method for grouping learners involved in online brainstorming are presented as well.
