TLDR
The proposed method supports personal or group concept formation by visualizing the relationships between concepts and their microcontents, given by users, in a metric space.Abstract:
There has been an increase in collaborative work among specialists from multiple disciplines in recent years. Accordingly, building methods and tools to facilitate communications in those collaborative projects has become an essential issue. This paper describes a method that helps people working cooperatively to form new concepts in areas such as science and engineering. The proposed method supports personal or group concept formation by visualizing the relationships between concepts and their microcontents, given by users, in a metric space. Showing individual spaces presented by communication support system (a tool implemented using this method) to individual users and merging them are useful in clarifying personal backgrounds and viewpoints.read more

Method for generating a multi-strata model and an intellectual information processing device
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proposed a method of designing an intelligent system assuring autonomy in problem solving to the largest extent, which induces a very different view to computer systems from the conventional ones and systems designed according to this idea extend the scope of computer applications.

Computer-aided thinking by mapping text-objects into metric spaces
TL;DR: Results of experiments with the implemented system, named CAT1 (computer-aided thinking, version 1), show that users of the system can get effective stimuli for further thinking in creative concept formation.

A language/action perspective on the design of cooperative work
TL;DR: A communication tool called The Coordinator is described, which was designed from a language/action perspective; and it is suggested how further aspects of coordinated work might be addressed in a similar style.

A system for aiding creative concept formation
TL;DR: A system named AA1 (Articulation Aid 1) which aids human users in the formation of new concepts in the domain of engineering and science and is as nonprescriptive as possible, but gives stimulation for the user to form concepts that he could not by using only pencil and paper.
