Abstract
In this paper, we briefly describe what the creativity process is by referring to some well known recent definitions that identify distinct phases. We subsequently present a short review of major creativity support tools, outlining their characteristics and pinpointing shortcomings. Creativity support tools appear to place focus only on some phases of the process, leaving
others unsupported. We propose to enhance the support that these tools offer their users by adding context awareness: providing users with useful context dependent recommendations. Finally we present our proposal for alleviating this situation that involves incorporating context awareness in creativity support tools.
