The face-to-face part of the event lasted three days and was held between the 28-30th of October 2010 in Pafos, Cyprus. Two weeks ahead of the meeting the twenty participants were given the opportunity of submitting their initial responses to the Triggering Question via the CARDIAC Wikispace. Two remote sessions were then held after the meeting to complete the structuring using the software Elluminate LiveTM. The CARDIAC Wikispace was also used to gather further clarifications and analysis of the results.

Out of the population of 87 proposed ideas, 47 received one or more votes. This is described scientifically by the parameter of Spreadthink4 or divergence (ST or D respectively), whose value in this case is 51% of disagreement. According to numerous studies, the average degree of spreadthink is 40%. Spreadthink is defined as (V-5)/(N-5) where N is the total number of ideas and V is the number of ideas that received one or more votes.

Two remote sessions were held after the meeting to complete the structuring using the software Elluminate LiveTM. This web conferencing program was developed by Elluminate Inc to implement synchronous events4. Elluminate “rents” out virtual rooms or vSpaces where virtual schools and businesses can hold classes and meetings. This virtual space was the means by which all participants got together in order to be able to work on the virtual SDDSM. The image of the SDD software Cogniscope could be viewed by all remote participants; functions such as raising hand, voting“yes” or “no”, video, and chatting made this virtual SDDSM possible. A screen-shot of this environment is shown in the next image.

In this short video clip, [[Yiannis Laouris]] explains the setup for the virtual SDDP sessions.
