ReflectWorld: A distributed architecture for meetings and groups evolution analysis

Abstract

-In this paper, we describe the efforts in taking advantage of the latest IT developments, (especially of the development of mobile computing devices such as tablets or phones) to create a comprehensive architecture for face-to-face meetings support and groups evolution analysis. The main purpose of the architecture is to mitigate frequent meetings problems by providing state-of-the-art technological support to groups or teams. This paper introduces ReflectWorld, the distributed architecture created on top of the principles of Reflect Table, a meeting support and analysis system centered on individuals' participation and interactions.

Mobile technology for awareness of time progression and its impact on meetings

“…Following our previous efforts in analyzing the effects of balanced participation and designing tools for meeting mediation like the Reflect Table and ReflectWorld [3], we address here the issues of time and agenda management, for which we design and deploy a technology-based solution.…”
