Paper: Exploring collaborative modeling of business processes on large interactive touch display walls

Workshop paper and related ITS poster has been uploaded to eprints.  Will be presented on the 15th Nov. at ITS 2015 and related CMIS workshop.  Is part of a collaboration with University of Bochum, supported by IFE  @ QUT.

Info: Touch Screen Gesture-based Process Modelling

Picture on the left shows Markus Rittenbruch and Fortune Truong working in the QUT VISER laboratory on our new gesture-based process modeller, destined for the QUT Cube.

We have implemented a set of gestures to promote its use with large scale touch screen collaboration systems, such as the Cube.   Note, both participants in the image are modelling concurrently, as it is a multi-user system.

We will be looking for process modelling volunteers soon to perform a collaboration experiment. Keep your eyes peeled for an invite to take part in some leading edge collaborative modelling research.

Many thanks to Michael Rosemann (HOS) and Ian Mackinnon (IFE) for support, and the VISER laboratory for access to their Star Wars gear.

This project is a collaboration involving myself, Erik Poppe and Artem Polyvany at QUT, and Alex Nolte at Bochum University, Germany.

Get in contact if you are interested in the project.

The modelling environment of the future...

Received this little gem of a video a while back, and have finally got around to posting it to my blog. It is a demonstration of touch wall technology for direct, large scale manipulation of diagrams and multimedia content. So, I think this would make a great tool to be used for large scale modelling environments in BPM. I have heard anecdotal stories of people cutting up large print outs of diagrams and then shuffling them on a table top. Seems to me that we should get with the 21st century and use an electronic table top to do the same.
