Abstract
An agent mediated Computer Supported Cooperative Work (CSCW) system creates a sense of group work and at the same time keeps the privacy and maintains the security of each user. A multi-agent negotiation process is used in the system to reduce fractions among group members during the geographically distributed team work. A markup language, such as XML (eXtended Markup Language), is used in the system to encode communication messages. Event perception is an important task in agent mediated CSCW system which uses an eigen space to perform the event perception task. For the case where the number of devices is large, an eigen pyramid is constructed which can be used to discriminate different events.
