Abstract

Rapid developments in hardware and software are creating opportunities to enhance the user experience. For example, advances in social analytics can provide near instant feedback. State of the art information extraction tools, filtering, categorization and presentation mechanisms all greatly facilitate knowledge exploitation activities. However, these technologies are not yet fully integrated into modern business systems. This paper describes research being undertaken in order to develop a new collaborative creative design platform (COnCEPT) aimed at investigating of new data-mining and collaboration technologies in order to enhance the information systems of future businesses. This paper describes the software architecture and the components, together with the design principles which underpin the design of the new COnCEPT platform, which is being developed to address the needs of professional design teams working collaboratively in a professional context.
