Abstract :
The lack of tools for small software development teams leads us to propose an architecture to better support it. The multi-agent system (MAS) based architecture is called CSCW-SD. CSCW-SD has a module (MODUS-SD) that models users for better system customization and usability. In this paper, we present an enhancement to this module to help dynamically modeling the users as they interact with the system. In order to do that, we introduce an algorithm called GSOM that clusters user´s behavior (the extracted features) and automatically detects cluster boundaries in the resulting trained SOM network.
