Abstract

In order to accommodate the new change brought by theCSCW application system, a new CSCW Systemintegration platform Based on Multi C2 D2-Agent isrequired. In this paper, a method in the form of MAS-basedmodel for designing CSCW system and C2 D2-Agentconcepts are proposed. The architectural propertyof this type CSCW system is studied.We show the importance to construct C2D2 agents andexplore an architecture model for multi-agent basedCSCW system. We illustrate the structure of C2 D2 agents,especially autonomous interface agents, and discusssome design principles for such agents. In CSCW system,autonomous interface agents can expediently supportsynchronous applications.
