Research on Agent-Based Awareness and Communication in Mobile Collaborative Work

More and more distributed collaboration behavior needed more information communication and transmission among cooperators in collaborative work. As a special type of distributed collaborative work, collaborative awareness should be paid more attention in mobile collaboration. In the mobile collaboration work process, we should not only describe the static organization, actor, and object, but take into count the dynamic location and behavior information in mobile collaborative environment. To resolve the complex system problem of dynamic, open and social characteristics of mobile collaboration work. We introduced the concept of collaborative agent. The belief desire and intention BDI architecture system is used to achieve the awareness and control function in various stage of collaboration process. In addition, the KQML communication primitive language was extended with speech-act theory to formally define the proper speech-acts in collaboration work, in order to support collaboration work on the base of communication layer.
