“…Adopting such a language allows modeling services, dialogs and input and output param eters of Web services. We use a representation language called MOSS I [6], summarized in the next paragraphs. a) MOSS: is a complex frame-based representation lan guage, allowing the description of concepts, individuals, prop erties, classless objects, default values, virtual concepts and virtual properties.…”

This paper presents the ONTOCODESIGN platform for collaboratively designing an ontology for CSCWD. The ontol ogy is meant to help SMC/CSCWD Committee members to better interact and organize their scientific production, and to help the Steering Committee make more informed decisions. Indeed, organized research groups usually have steering committees supporting their actions, and making decisions implementing the group's strategy. A big picture that reveals a network of topics, exposing how the community reacts to changes (trends, discoveries, social impacts, etc) is critical for making good decisions. We believe that a collaborative approach for building a CSCWD ontology will help keeping track of CSCWD themes and allow developing more consensual and effective initiatives.The ONTOCODESIGN platform uses a multi-agent environment and a multilingual context. The paper describes its architecture and its first implementation.Index Terms-CSCWD, collaborative design platform, CSCWD ontology

Service-oriented architecture (SOA) is a proven approach that aims at producing loosely coupled, standard-based, and protocol-independent services. A compliant SOA architecture must provide independents units or services, allowing users to discover, execute and compose them in their applications. In order to follow the rapidly changing and highly competitive market, organizations have to adapt their service interfaces according to their business requirement. Thus, the design is one of the most crucial phases of service lifecycle. From the last years, the software engineering domain has made a great effort providing methods for agile development. Despite these efforts, we lack the necessary tools to use and validate the rich vocabulary presented in user stories and test cases during the service design. We propose a CSCWD approach for the exploitation of independent services using a personal assistant to guide the end user through a natural language dialog. The personal assistant plays the role of a mediator between end-users and the service library. The generated proof-of-concept allows the interaction with services through a personal assistant using restricted requests in natural language. Using our approach, software designers and domain experts can evaluate the expressiveness of their service interfaces and conduct a process improvement, adjusting the vocabulary and granularity of services iteratively. s s-Service-Oriented Architecture, Natural Language Processing, Personal Assistants, CSCWD.

“…The PA has a very superficial knowledge of the application, following the digital butler approach promoted by Negroponte [19]. In addition, agents on the side of the user have a more cognitive bias and are implemented through an OMAS platform [1], which specialize in rapid prototyping for artificial intelligence and user interaction. The two multi-agent platforms communicate through gateways, also called transfer agents or postmen.…”

Using vocal interfaces in complex applications leads to more intuitive interactions. At the University of Technology of Compiègne, we have built a collaborative environment from a large graphics table, interactive board and peripheral devices for supporting preliminary cooperative design. The environment support unique multimodal interaction through intelligent personal assistant agents and this paper details the architecture and implementation of their vocal interfaces, as well as the multiagent middleware, using two different multi-agent platforms.
