Abstract

We present a model of the MAS (Multi-Agent System) ‎devoted to collaborative ‎teleoperation architectures. The ‎proposed MAS formalism is based on a new approach ‎‎combining astutely two research area: MAS and CSCW (Computer Supported ‎Collaborative Work). In the first area, ‎a formal model of the MAS (Ferber approach) is ‎used to give ‎us features of the agent. The second area provides us a useful ‎approach of ‎collaboration based on the communication, ‎coordination and production theories.‎A formal model of the collaboration is proposed. This ‎formalism is combined astutely with ‎the Ferber model to ‎provide new collaborative features of the agent. The result ‎formalism is ‎used to achieve the conceptual architecture of ‎the MAS supporting full collaborative ‎teleoperation on the ‎Internet. Finally the system is evaluated and some results are ‎‎discussed.‎
