Collaborative Process Modelling with Multi-Touch Tables

In business process modelling, as in any application domain, collaborative work gets more and more important as the complexity of the problem increases. Conventional
computing workspaces, (e.g. desktop PC, laptop) are not suitable for active collaboration of several contributors on the same device at the same time. In this thesis we develop collabView, a proof-of-concept implementation, to model business processes on a multitouch table such that multiple users can interact at the same time. Our application connects as a client to the proView business process modelling server application. collabView encourages all collaborators to work actively together and interact with the process models in a direct an intuitive way.
