Be careful when copying information from this article! The paper is already published and you will be charged with plagiarism! My thesis proposes several approaches as result of the research questions. Their validity of each approach should be verified by allowing users to interact with a prototype built to fulfill all the proposed solutions. Hence, the final users will prove the correctness of this thesis approaches. The implemented prototype will be a brainstorming supporting application. Because my thesis studies brainstorming on a tabletop, I will choose the Microsoft Surface as the underlying hardware because it supports multitouch and multiuser experience. […]
is article presents the system architecture and the underlying decisions that were taken to achieve the above requirements. The system requires a repository for sessions, a repository for Brainstorming items and a native Windows application for achieving the baseline of desired features. Thus, a distributed client – server architecture is considered, exemplified here.
In this section the application requirements will be presented. They are split into functional and non-functional ones. The first refers to all the features needed to be implemented, while the second category refers to performance, extensibility and scalability of the system.
There are two sets of features that must or can be implemented: the first ones which regulate the brainstorming activity as a set of rules; the second ones add productivity to the process, enabling additional scenarios that improve the user experience.

Is Microsoft learning basic principles of Usability? Corrina Black, lead designer for the Silverlight platform, presents usability principles implementation in the newest Silverlight 3.

Scott Hanselman had a presentation at Mix 09 conference – File | New Company: Creating NerdDinner.com with Microsoft ASP.NET MVC. This was in its unique style – fun, rich in content, tricks, advices but most of all was fun. This year he managed to create a new type of presentation – without the actual presentation! No more constrained to some slides, just him, Visual Studio and the audience. Yes, the audience – who seemed to absorb any words spoken there, helping Scott with few advices in some key points.
