An increasing demand for synchronous collaboration with
people in different locations has raised the question
for adequate tool support of such collaboration
activities in the early phases of projects. As work in
the early phases is mainly creative and leads from
unstructured ideas to structured scenarios, continuity
between those steps is essential. We present here a
tool-supported method that supports synchronous group
sessions as well as asynchronous work in the same environment, based on a generic approach for information
generation and structuring. pdf
