TL;DR: For a given time period, for each pair of a plurality of participants in a meeting, it is determined whether a connection exists between members of the pair as mentioned in this paper, and a valence of the connection is determined; a social network is created, depicting the connections and their valences; and, based on the social network, at least one faction is identified within the plurality.
Abstract: For a given time period, for each pair of a plurality of participants in a meeting, it is determined whether a connection exists between members of the pair. For the given time period, for each pair of the participants for which a connection exists, a valence of the connection is determined; a social network is created, depicting the connections and their valences; and, based on the social network, at least one faction is identified within the plurality of participants in the meeting. The steps of determining the connections, determining the valences, creating the network, and identifying the at least one faction, are repeated for a plurality of additional time periods, to assess faction dynamics of the plurality of participants in the meeting.

TL;DR: A meeting management method, system, and non-transitory computer readable medium, include a target determination circuit configured to determine a target of an agenda for a meeting, the target of the agenda including which users correspond to a topic, a behavior capturing circuit configuring to capture behavior of the users during the meeting, a tracking and identifying circuit configurable to track the behavior of users during a meeting and identify a user of users corresponding to the behavior, and a difference determination circuit configured to determine if a difference between the behaviour of users and the target is greater than a threshold value
