Collaborative process modeling with tablets and touch tables - A controlled experiment

Modelling on mobile devices

“…Sketching is supported by roughly 23% of the approaches with a graphical syntax. Specifically, Buchmann et al [22], Calico [62], CollabTouch [46], DrawExpress [29], FlexiSketch [106], the Horus Method [2], Lekh Diagram [52], MobiDev [89], NetSketcher [10], and Sá et al [85] support a sketch-based syntax which fits well in the touch-based screens of most devices. In addition, MobiDev proposes to sketch using pen and paper or a blackboard, take a picture with the mobile, and translate the drawing into a digital model automatically via shape recognition.…”

“…The approach by Sá et al [85] is aimed at designing prototypes of mobile apps in-situ, and it allows augmenting the sketches with behaviour (audio, video, and image elements). • BPMN-Tool [84] • Buchmann et al [22] Sketching Calico [62] Sketching CEL [53] • CollabTouch [46] Sketching DSL-comet [102] Geolocated User repr.

“…Another category of tools provide users with mobile editors for creating small apps like Epidosite [54], MicroApp [31], Puzzle [26], Sá et al [85], TouchDevelop [95] and YinYang [65].

“…The third reason is the need to support tactile interaction. This is the case of sketching tools like Buchmann et al [22], Calico [62], CEL [53], CollabTouch [46], Draw-Express [29], FlexiSketch [106], Lekh Diagram [52] and NetSketcher [10]. All these tools except Calico, CEL and NetSketcher are also deployed on desktop computers to support cross-device collaboration with a desktop computer, an interactive whiteboard or a tabletop.…”

“…-Enabling individual work to be merged with the work of other collaborators during synchronous collaborative sessions. This is the case of Calico [62], CollabTouch [46], FlexiSketch [106] and Nolte et al [75]. -Preventing information loss in case of an internet outage, as in the Horus Method [2].…”
