Idea Management in a Shared Drawing Tool

, and . Proceedings of the Second European Conference on Computer-Supported Cooperative Work, page 97-112. Springer, (1991)Setting: Supported Process: Design Process in small teams (distributed) => Sketching is important for design processses => Group sketching with shared drawing tools Fokus: Idea Management in shared drawing tools. Motivation: No own empirical results. Argumentation is based on results of other studies that characterize the design process as chaotic => need for management. Goal: Architecture for idea management in shared drawing tools Methodical Approach: Research Studies on Group Design Activities and Design Methodology => Collect Group Behavior Data => Study and Understand to generate a taxonomy of group idea management processes => Derive user Requiremets for supporting group idea management => Develop architecture (CaveDraw) Results: - Taxonomy of group idea management processes (list of recurring process patterns): * Agree and add on the suggested idea * Agree and subdivide the suggested idea * Modify the suggested idea * Scratch and restart * Agree and wait * Compare and consolidate * Deprivatize design ideas - CaveDraw shared drawing package - Layer-based - All users can work on different layers on the same time. - Pointer to point on items - Definition of five critical factors for idea management (argumentation unknown): * Work Allocation: split between individual and group, personal design space? * Design Integration: how can data from the personal space be integrated * Design Ownership: * Design Recall: Undo-possibilites, versioning * Space Sharing: amount of workspace is limited, if a big group acts on the workspace, the space can quickly be full. - User Requirements drawn from taxonomy: - Drawing of user requirements from each of the critical factors perspectives - Argumentation that a layer based-approach satisfies the user requirements..
