Distributed Feedback

# View ideas and submit comments to ideas
# Submit ideas
# View market data and trade on ideas

This tool provides a set of small, lightweight desktop applications (called widgets), which allow the user to have an overview of all the public ideas submitted by other users, to have an overview of the different markets open in IdeM (the Idea Market tool) and in which ideas are being traded on, and to enter an idea and submitted to the central idea repository, either as draft or public.

Idearium

# Simple project (brainstorming session) management.
# Integration with Xpertum for team/competences visualization.
# Synchronous and asynchronous collaboration.
# Visual environment for idea generation(discussions).
# Real time distributed brainstorming.

Idearium is a visual and interactive tool for asynchronous and distributed brainstorming which enhances the ideation process in four aspects.

IDeM

IDeM is a collaborative innovation support environment that uses the market metaphor to provide:

InnoJam

InnoJam is a discussion-based tool that can bring together thousands of users and connect them in an asynchronous way to empower the generation and evolution of ideas.

InnoJam is aimed to support massive-participation events. In that line, a higher level of participation from the users provides a greater value from the system features. Even though, it can also suit the needs of smaller events, with a lower level of participation.

InnoTube

InnoTube is suitable for being deployed in whatever environment where communities are dealing with Innovation. In particular, first pilots in actual New Product Design and development in an industrial domain proved the appropriateness of this tool as daily work tool in a corporate organisation.

Because of its strong WEB2.0 flavour its use can be fruitfully open outside the boundaries of a single organisation and being used in a Living Labs context. Last but not the least, InnoTube can be profitably integrated / interoperate with third parties tools which can highlight specific features and increase the overall added value for the user.

Mashup

The mashup is a web–based application which provides a common, yet personalized entry point to the Laboranova environment. The mashup acts also as an integrated front-end to the user innovation space (ideas, people, and related information), as well as to the innovation tools developed as part of Laboranova.

Melodie

KartOO created Melodie to allow the collaborative generation of ideas over the internet.

All ideas are shown as a cartography (map) which visualizes the results. There is a semantic system which links and clusters the same topics between the ideas, so that similar ideas are shown near one another.

Moreover, people can improve an idea by entering an improvement of an already existing idea.
All ideas are shown and every users is allowed to access them and to modify ideas until they are finalized.

ProfileSystem

The Laboranova Profile System is designed to enhance users’ ability to identify people who would be useful to them in creating innovations. Profiling tools are key in that they should generate virtual crossroads that normally mainly happen by chance in our professional life - such as meeting someone having a common interest with a complementary expertise during a conference or other event – they can thus provide a random chance of meeting a collaboration opportunity.

refQuest

refQuest is a multi-player online game supporting the idea generation by disruptiveness and structuring of the ideation process by applying creativity techniques. It allows Virtual Teams to cooperate in ideation over distance.

refQuest is based on a generic game mode. The core of the model is a business process defined for each organization in the game. The process model consists of process steps, which might be executed serially or in parallel. Each process step is of specific type: either a document needs to be filled out or an action needs to be taken.

Rich Knowledge Meetings

Rich Knowledge Meeting tool makes it easy to have rich meetings even if you are geographical apart. You talk to each other, you can see each other, you can share documents, and co-operate using the other Laboranova tools. And since you are using your normal computer you will have full access to your email, calendar, and all your files.

Social and Collaborative Web Search (SCWS)

Xpertum

Xpertum is an interactive web-based tool for visualizing social networks, in terms of competences and people, which uses basically force-directed and clustering algorithms (work in progress).

The users can visualize relationships between two entities: competences and individuals through different views in order to analyze important aspects in the current social network.
