Towards a Collaborative Innovation Catalyst

This position paper is aimed at highlighting the potential connection between Pervasive Systems and Collaborative Innovation. In particular, we discuss the architectural structure of an Innovation Catalyst supporting a collaboration methodology based on the Open Innovation paradigm. Our system is conceived for stimulating the collaborative dynamics of a team, exploiting all the information produced in the collaborative environment, including situational context, communication in team interactions, and personal behaviours. The results of our work can contribute to a more general understanding of the elements that catalyse collaborative innovation.
