Application Design Based on Work Ontology and an Agent Based Awareness Server

Collaborative Systems support user groups enabling a shared environment and informing of its state and changes through a mechanism called awareness. We believe that these changes and their consequences can be understood from an interpretation context, this approach allows us to infer the relevance of the awareness information and control its delivery trough different channels. The mechanism is enabled through a Multi-Agent System (MAS). We built a collaborative scheduler to test these ideas and we present a case study based on its use. We found that those ideas significantly ease the construction of different interfaces for the same problem while application usability is not impacted
