Model of computer-supported multi-level and multi-group cooperative work based on agent

On the basis of analysis of the features and requirements of computer-supported multilevel and multi-group cooperative work (CSMMCW), a new 5-tuple structural mode and the cooperative framework of CSMMCW based on multi-agent are proposed. Some key issues in the design and implementation of agent, such as the organization architecture and communication mechanism of the agent, are also analyzed and discussed. The model presented here has been applied and verified in the implementation of computer-supported work system (NetCoop) and multimedia distance learning system.
