In this paper, we discuss the construction of dialogs for Personal Assistant Agents that are in charge of the interface between users and a Multi-Agent System. Such a system aims at providing support for small teams developing software collaboratively. These small teams have specific needs such as the integration of free or open-source tools or the support to elaborate project documentation. Considering...
The research on CSCW and groupware systems focus the activities of distributed teams involved in large projects by means of tools for communication and awareness. The activities of small collocated teams are often neglected. Analyzing preliminary requirements of small teams, it is possible to observe the need of tools to help the elaboration of project documentation. This paper presents a multi-agent...
