  • Abstract
    In order to accommodate the new change brought by the computer support cooperative work (CSCW) application system, a new CSCW system integration platform based on multi-C2D2-Agent is required. In this paper, a method in the form of MAS-based model for designing CSCW system and C2D2-Agent concepts are proposed. The architectural property of this type of CSCW system is studied. We show the importance to construct C2D2 agents and explore an architecture model for the multi-agent based CSCW system. We illustrate the structure of C2D2 agents, especially autonomous interface agents, and discuss some design principles for such agents. In the CSCW system, autonomous interface agents can expediently support synchronous applications
