“…Meetings combine a series of dimensions in human behavior, such as communication, interaction, decision-making, negotiation, conflict resolution or creativity. The major argument in favor of meetings is that they increase creativity, coordination and informed decisionmaking [16]. In this context, coordination may be defined as managing dependencies between activities [17].…”

Abstract. This paper discusses the role of PDA in the meeting environment. Three fundamental design issues are raised: PDA as mobile devices, CSCW devices and coordination devices. The research work described in this paper is focused on the coordination facet. The paper proposes three levels of detail to characterize meetings as coordination mechanisms and ascertain the role of PDA in that process. The first level identifies meeting agents and roles, as well as the tangible things necessary to support those roles. The second level describes how the tangible things are organized in meetings, highlighting repetitive patterns in meeting processes. Finally, the third level draws the functional requirements of the PDA support to the tangible things. The paper applies the proposed approach to a specific meeting environment, staff briefings, and uses a small consulting company as test bed. The PDA functionality was specified from analyzing how the test bed organization conducted staff briefings. A prototype was then developed. The test bed organization also produced feedback information on the prototype use. The obtained results indicate a general satisfaction with the functionality and increased enthusiasm with PDA usage in the meeting environment.

“…(2) Meetingware requires good agendas, defined before meetings and, in fact, one of the most significant advantages of meetingware has been attributed to this strong requirement. However, 1/3 of traditional meetings do not have any kind of agenda [33] and, thus, meetingware may be perceived by teams as awkward. (3) Meetingware has proved to decrease significantly organizational costs but, nevertheless, failed because this technology needs champions and they are very scarce in organizations [7].…”

“…Planning meetings, project meetings, briefings, brainstorms, welcome meetings, and workshops are just few examples of meeting genres common in organizations. Studies show that senior, middle and junior personnel spend a significant amount of their time in meetings (mean time per week is 8.4 hours [33]). Furthermore, the meeting frequency has grown in the past and is expected to grow in the future [33].…”

“…Studies show that senior, middle and junior personnel spend a significant amount of their time in meetings (mean time per week is 8.4 hours [33]). Furthermore, the meeting frequency has grown in the past and is expected to grow in the future [33]. One possible explanation for this trend is that we are now moving towards a global knowledge-based economy demanding for worker adaptation and flexibility, continuous learning and innovation, and diversity in the selection of sources of information [37].…”

“…The cost of meetings, considering time, money and logistics, is very high and the satisfaction is very low [33]. There is a strong feeling, constructed from many personal experiences, that too many meetings fail or are simply a waste of time [35].…”

Abstract. Meetingware supports, manages, guides and stimulates participation in meetings. The evaluation of meetingware has not yet produced concluding results due to many reasons, one of them concerning the high cost (in time, money and logistics) of the evaluation process. This paper proposes a low-cost approach to evaluate meetingware. The approach is centered on a variablePerceived Value -measuring several external product attributes of meetingware that can be negotiated between developers and users. The proposed approach was used by an organization with the purpose of evaluating a meetingware prototype developed by the authors.
