Paper Abstract:
|
Setting-up successful virtual communities represents an effective way for facilitating the circulation of knowledge in organizations and groups. However the design of such successful communities represents a main challenge that is principally related to the difficulty to engage people into a knowledge exchange process and to establish a sustainable level of participation. This short paper presents some research directions that consist in the design and the use of artificial cognitive agents, guided by users behavioral profile and known principles of participation derived from social cognition theories, for stimulating participation. |
