architecture of complex systems which
integrate automatic modules and human agents.
We selected the domain of distributed artificial intelligence, and more
precisely, that of cognitive agents.
Of course we also have to address software issues and human factors (cognitive
sciences, and communications).
Test applications include
Cooperative Work in Design and
Concurrent Engineering
Management of Scientific and Technical Knowledge.
Our work is done within the CNRS UMR HEUDIASYC
Laboratory, and refers to the priorities set by CNRS, but is also in
line with the research themes defined by UTC. Following the recommendations
of both the CNRS and UTC we try to develop strong connections with Human
Sciences, and to do a special effort for transferring
the results to the industrial world.
