Support for environment-mediated human cooperation in large-scale reuse-based projects

Abstract

Support for cooperation in large-scale reuse-based projects is required to assist developers in carrying out the complex and distributed system composition process. The position paper presents Peace+knowledge-based formalism for modelling interactions among project participants and a system for enacting those models. The main two key concepts named interaction and intention, are inspired from two theories: the speech acts theory and the theory of rational action. Peace+process centred environment is founded on the multi-agent paradigm of distributed artificial intelligence.
