Abstract
Brainstorming is a commonly used method for diffusion thinking in early design stage. While the communication between two participants is blocked with isolated communication boundaries, the ideas are often transferred via a propagated interaction process among design team participants. The paper describes an organization-communication method to study the interaction between designers and design teams using act/react characteristics of role-interplay. Adapting a role-play framework called DARIS; a particular controlling agent called Playwright Agent is developed and used for implementing the adaptive scripts. Furthermore, by simulating the interconnecting process among discrete communication boundaries, the interaction and controlling mechanism of Playwright Agent is also unleashed in the paper. The mechanism and the agent implementation of proposed framework, namely DARIS + is shown to represent the interaction as well as their consequence. An example for describing how Playwright Agent works is also shown in the paper.
