Abstract
This paper reports work regarding the design, development
and evaluation of a surface computing application to
support collaborative decision making.. The domainindependent application, so called Ideas Mapping, builds on
the principle of Affinity Diagramming to allow participants
to analyze a problem and brainstorm around possible
solutions while they actively construct a consensus artifact -
- a taxonomy of their ideas. During idea generation, Ideas
Mapping replicates physical post-it notes on a multi-touch
tabletop. Additional functionality supports student
collaboration and interaction around the organization of
ideas into thematic categories associated with the problem
at hand. We report on the functionality and user experience
while interacting with the application which was designed
and developed using a user-centered approach. We also
report initial findings regarding the affordances of surface
computing for collaborative decision making.
