Meeting Decision Follow-up and Task Management

Meeting is one of the most common places where decisions are made. However, since there is hardly any formal documentation concerning decisions made in meetings, it turns out to be very difficult to trace these decisions. Our work argues that in order to improve this scenario with computer supported systems, we need first a more holistic approach regarding the meeting cycle, composed of pre-meeting, the meeting itself and post-meeting activities, and additionally a mean to link the daily duties of users, which are related to the decisions made, to the outcomes of meetings. The way we propose this support is implemented as an extension of a document management system linked to a task management mechanism.
