Electronic brainstorming allows users to generate ideas in parallel to mitigate production blocking, but, on the other hand, this increases the cognitive load on the users and may cause information overload. We address this trade-off by leveraging the users’ natural alternation between generating ideas and attending to new ideas by others to manipulate the delivery timing and quantity of ideas ...

This paper describes a method called speed sketching, which utilizes user data as inspiration in a brainstorm-like session. The user data comes from a design probe study of an entrance to a building. One challenge with usercentered design is to give life to user data in the design process. A design workshop was held with five designers as participators. During the workshop speed sketching was u...

In this paper, the human brainstorming process is modeled, based on which two versions of Brain Storm Optimization (BSO) algorithm are introduced. Simulation results show that both BSO algorithms perform reasonably well on ten benchmark functions, which validates the effectiveness and usefulness of the proposed BSO algorithms. Simulation results also show that one of the BSO algorithms, BSO-II,...

The use of Group Support Systems has been researched repeatedly using many task-type. For brainstorming tasks the process support of the system have been restricted to ensuring member anonymity and allowing the simultaneous entry of ideas. Little work has been done investigating other process improvements for idea-generating groups. In this paper is investigated the effect on idea quality and q...

The importance of analyzing R&D environment changes and forecasting future technologies for supporting policy decision and efficient resource distribution has been increasingly recognized. Many futurists are forecasting future technology based on Delphi study, brainstorming, expert survey, trend analysis, data mining, etc. However, these processes still need to be formalized. In this paper, we ...

The aim of this research study was to explore the effect of instructional techniques on critical thinking and critical thinking dispositions in online discussion, based on triangulation design. Six Thinking Hats, Brainstorming, Role Playing, Socratic Seminar, and Anyone Here an Expert, were selected as an instructional techniques for online discussion. In the quantitative part, according to the...

In this work in progress paper, we present first results of a collaborative tabletop study that compares different types of territories. Our research focuses on interaction with digital objects (post-it notes) during a brainstorming task in two conditions: In the first condition, the creation of digital objects took place on a large scaled tabletop screen – no delimited territories. In the seco...

The purpose of this work is to test the chief principle of brainstorming, formulated as "quantity generates quality." The study is included within a broad program whose goal is to detect the strong and weak points of creative techniques. In a sample of 69 groups, containing between 3 and 8 members, the concurrence of two commonly accepted criteria was established as a quality rule: originality ...

The objective of this article is to evaluate the effectiveness of a collaborative and online brainstorming game, Idea Storming Cube (ISC), which provides users with a competitive game-based environment and a peer-like intelligent agent. The program seeks to promote students’ divergent thinking to aid in the process of problem solving. The participants consisted of 72 11 grade high school studen...
