Computer support for adaptive human collaboration with negotiable social protocols

Abstract

Support for human-to-human interactions over a network is still insufficient. Many research has to been done to provide both theoretical and practical knowledge to this field. This paper presents a model for adaptive humam collaboration. A key element of this model is the modeling of some social elements involved during the collaboration process. Processes are modeled as social protocols. A second contribution is the proposition of negotiation as a mean for adaption of these protocols.
