Exploring a Research Agenda for Design Knowledge Capture in Meetings

Abstract

Meetings are a frequent part of life for a software developer. Software design is often performed, discussed, and reviewed in these meetings. This means that meetings may contain important design information that could be captured for later use. Meeting design tools may be a way to capture design information as a byproduct of discussion that arises in these meetings. In this paper, we identify a list of key meeting support tool features that could support the capture and retrieval of design information and compare these to features currently offered in commercial meeting support tools.
