Symbik - A New Medium for Collaborative Knowledge-Intensive Work

In Proceedings of the International Conference on Education, Informatics, and Cybernetics (Orlando, Florida, Nov 29 – Dec 2, 2011). icEIC 2011

Abstract

Knowledge-intensive work in business practice is usually supported by rather static media where expressiveness and ease of content consumption are paid for by a high effort for content creation. In the area of highly interactive collaboration, however, physical media like whiteboards dominate because of the speed and ease of content creation. Regrettably, physical media come with a number of shortcomings, e.g., in terms of accommodating increases in complexity and scope.

BrainDump: An Interface for Visual Information-Gathering During Web Browsing Sessions

11th International Conference on Knowledge Management and Knowledge Technologies

Abstract

In this demo-paper a software prototype called BrainDump is described. The approach is focusing on information gathering during web browsing sessions. While performing such a task, the structure and amount of needed data is not known in advance. The system provides the functionality to create and manipulate visual images of mental connections in a dynamic way. Therefore only one single step of interaction is needed. Furthermore the user can follow links back to the source of information, annotate content and hierarchically group collected items.

Getting a Picture of Your Thoughts: Interactive Visualization for Creative Work

ACM Creativity and Cognition

Abstract

Creative work is not limited to one single hour, meeting or day. When resuming such a task one asks himself: What did I have in mind? Little research has been done on what kinds of representations are supporting the externalization of mental efforts in the best way. This doctoral research is creating and investigating novel approaches combining visualizations, interaction concepts and memory techniques to create design guidelines for interactive mnemonic visualizations for creative work.

Industriepromotion: Memorative Visualisierungsformen

Braindump – Konzept eines visuellen Systems für das Wissensmanagement am Beispiel der Verwaltung von Internetquellen

GeNeMe '09

Abstract

Vorgestellt wurde das Konzept eines visuellen Systems zur Sammlung und Verwaltung von Informationen. Das entwickelte Konzept zielt im Besonderen darauf ab die Durchführung von Rechercheaufgaben im Internet komfortabler zu gestalten.

Die zu bewältigenden Rechercheaufgaben erstrecken sich zudem oftmals über mehrere Sitzungen hinweg und müssen somit – gegebenenfalls mehrmals – unterbrochen werden. Dabei werden beim Aufgabenwiedereinstieg in bisherigen Systemen häufig Zusammenhänge sowie der Kontext - in welchem die Rechercheergebnisse gefunden wurden - vergessen.
