Abstract
We investigate serendipity, or happy, accidental discover- ies, in CC, and propose computational concepts related to serendipity. These include a focus-shift, a breakdown of serendipitous discovery into prepared mind, serendipity trig- ger, bridge and result and three dimensions of serendipity: chance, sagacity and value. We propose a definition and stan- dards for computational serendipity and evaluate three cre- ative systems with respect to our standards. We argue that this is an important notion in creativity and, if carefully de- veloped and used with caution, could result in a valuable new discovery technique in CC.
