摘要：The possibility to analyze the social network emerging from the relations between people participating in a meeting could improve the effectiveness and satisfaction of the communication that occurs during the meeting. However, it requires accurate recording of direction, source and addressee(s) of all verbal exchanges in a format that allows the application of algorithms to extract and visualize social network indices. Virtual Meeting Analyzer is a Web application developed to overcome any complexity in this process. By using a simple interface and an intuitive input modality, VMA allows users without any specific skill in Social Network Analysis or informatics to track social network relations in small meetings and extract indices either during or after the meeting. The application is divided into four modules: meeting creation, configuration, recording and temporal analysis. This paper describes VMA and the results of a test carried out to evaluate its ease of use.
