Improvements in computer networking have heralded great
expectations for computer-mediated distributed work. However,
experience has revealed that, as information flow improves, a
central problem for distributed workers is the administration,
management and control of that information. Research into Computer
Supported Cooperative Work (CSCW) investigates design methods and
technologies for the support of collaboration, communication and
coordination of distributed group work, both within and among
organizations. In tandem with this focus on the support of
distributed communication and collaboration, there have been
exciting developments in the fields of Intelligent Agents and
Distributed Artificial Intelligence (DAI), notably in the concepts,
theories and deployment of intelligent agents as a means of
distributing computer-based problem solving expertise. The paradigm
of multi-agent systems forms a proposed basis for the design of
CSCW architectures, the support of CSCW operations and for
addressing some of the problems of cooperative working. The
application of a multi-agent approach to CSCW makes information
exchange among the participants easier by delivering support to the
participants, assisting workflows and procedures, and providing
convenient user interfaces to CSCW systems. Furthermore, the ideas
inherent in such an approach are also applicable to other domains,
such as support for interactive learning. Organizations that seek
to exploit the advantages offered through CSCW will benefit from
the integration of agents in the management and use of their
corporate knowledge, especially with the advancement of wired or
wireless networking, pervasive computing, and other information
technologies. Agent Supported Cooperative Work describes the state
of the art in this exciting new area, covering both theoretical
foundations and practical applications of ASCW. It is the first
book explicitly dedicated to ASCW, bringing together contributions
from international experts in the field.
