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.
