An emotional aware architecture to support facilitator in group idea generation process

Abstract

In an idea generation meeting, the facilitator role is essential to obtain good results. The emotional context of the meeting partially determines the (un)success of the meeting, so the facilitator needs to obtain and process this information. Thus, the facilitator role is to assist the participants to reach their goals, i.e., to generate ideas with quality. In this paper is proposed an emotional aware architecture whose aim is to assist the facilitator in the process of maximizing the results of the meeting. © Springer International Publishing Switzerland 2013.
