Abstract

In this paper, we describe the enabling technologies to develop a smart meeting system based on a three layered generic model. From physical level to semantic level, it consists of meeting capturing, meeting recognition, and semantic processing. Based on the overview of underlying technologies and existing work, we propose a novel real-world smart meeting application, called MeetingAssistant. It is distinctive from previous systems in two aspects. First it provides the real-time browsing that allows a participant to instantly view the status of the current meeting. This feature is helpful in activating discussion and facilitating human communication during a meeting. Second, the context-aware browsing adaptively selects and displays meeting information according to user's situational context, e.g., user purpose, which makes meeting viewing more efficient.
