Structured conceptualization is a specific form of concept mapping that is a mixed methods participatory approach that combines group processes (brainstorming, sorting, group interpretation) with a sequence of multivariate statistical analyses (multidimensional scaling, hierarchical cluster analysis). Concept mapping's relevance to health care quality and services is described. The basic steps ...

This paper presents a Computer Supported Cooperative Work tool to help different models of meetings concerning the decision making process. Besides supporting the two obvious domains of cooperation: space (same or different) and time (synchronous or asynchronous) it also allows to work with other dimensions such as group/subgroup, user roles, public or closed type of meeting, anonymous or nomin...

When very large groups have to brainstorm in smaller subgroups, meeting organizers have a choice between two options: (1) Let every subgroup start from scratch, or (2) Let every next subgroup build on the results from the previous subgroup. We refer to these options as the Decathlon and Relay modes of brainstorming respectively. During a case study we investigated which brainstorming mode would...

This study examined the direct effect of brainstorming on fraud risk assessment at credit card issuing banks in Indonesia. Therefore, it was expected to help improve their performance dealing with various frauds. involved 80 participants from management team four major Indonesia, consisting (anti-fraud specialist) and internal auditor team. The research analyzed using experimental method a 2X1 ...

The potential space of game designs is astronomically large. This paper shows how design theories can be translated into a simple, tangible card deck that assist in the exploration new within broader "design space." By translating elements theory physical deck, we enable users to randomly sample order synthesize variations for play platform ("Lumies"). In series iterative and testing rounds wit...

This work demonstrates how the World Wide Web can be mined in a fully automated manner for discovering the semantic similarity relationships among the concepts surfaced during an electronic brainstorming session, and thus improving the accuracy of automated clustering meeting messages. Our novel Context Sensitive Similarity Discovery (CSSD) method takes advantage of the meeting context when sel...

This research aimed at finding out whether or not the use of Plan-ahead Brainstorming in helping second-year students SMAN 1 Bantaeng to enhance their speaking skill. The steps implementing consist (1) giving topic, (2) plan-ahead session, (3) brainstorming small group, (4) individual oral report. employed pre-experimental method. researcher used random sampling technique and selected sample wa...

Through modeling human’s brainstorming process, the brain storm optimization (BSO) algorithm has become a promising population based evolution algorithm. However, BSO is often good at global exploration but not good enough at local exploitation, just like most global optimization algorithms. In this paper, the Nelder-Mead’s Simplex (NMS) method is adopted in a simple version of BSO. Our goal is...
