Agent-based Design of IoT Applications for Remote Brainstorming Support

A remote brainstorming support system is a highly coordinated IoT application composed of many locally installed interface devices, multimedia communication functions, and cloud functions that store meeting data. In this paper, we describe an agent-based remote brainstorming support system for exchanging multimedia information among distributed teams according to user requests. We aim to (1) develop multimedia channels to communicate brainstorming results obtained from and presented on various devices among distributed teams, (2) establish a novel mechanism to add newly developed channels to the system on demand during a meeting, and (3) scale up the performance of remote brainstorming support systems.
