System for meeting facilitation
A method, system and computer program product for facilitating a meeting is implemented in a server computer and provides a graphical user interface to one or more client devices. The server displays a mind map of a center topic on the clients. The server collects statements of participants, and extracts words and phrases therefrom, to identify topics that are currently being discussed. The server determines whether a transition has occurred between the topics, and then calculates a correlation between the topics that are currently being discussed and the center topic. The server determines a location of the topics that are currently being discussed on the mind map, based on the calculated correlation, and displays an updated mind map on the clients. The server generates a warning on the clients when the server determines that the meeting proceedings are being retarded, based on the calculated correlation.
