An awareness mechanism for enhancing cooperation in design teams

This article concerns a particular aspect of knowledge management (KM) in design teams: the awareness. It consists in keeping the members of a team conscious about the activities of their colleagues. We present a mechanism to determine the interest center of a user built from the traces of his/her computer operations (e.g. documents, Web pages). Each user is notified of similar interest centers thanks to a society of agents. We discuss in this article the construction of the centers of interest and the notification protocol.
