A support system for remote brainstorming sessions

A project generally begins with some phases where the preliminary design and requirements are defined. Brainstorming sessions play very important role during these sessions In this paper, we defined different kinds of brainstorming sessions and newly activities during remote brainstorming sessions. Next, we defined different kinds of resources used during brainstorming sessions like data on statements of participants, documents used, sensors to capture activities, devices to present the data and documents and programs to support activities for participants and mediators. Next, we designed a resource channel that support remote brainstorming sessions, including a video channel and a note channel experimentally. Finally, the experiments conducted between two teams situated in Japan and in France and conclusions about this experiment are described.
