Abstract :
The author presents le Salon, a tool for the construction and management of virtual places on the World Wide Web. Users are represented by interface agents that interact with each other and with independent artificial agents. All interactions follow a strict protocol which allows for partial grounding of the exchanged concepts. He believes that such grounding might lead to a more successful integration of artificial agents in environments designed for human actors.
