Collaborative Information Systems and Adaptive Workflow

cesses. We overview the project, the results, and the points to where the remaining research is directed. The research looks at collaboration in general and planning in particular. Our project goal was to investigate agent-based frameworks for distributed collaborative planning using a goal-centered approach. One major thrust of the project was to examine intelligent agent and mul-tiagent system architectures to model distributed planning (i.e., teamwork). In a second thrust we looked at mixed-initiative systems in which a symbiosis between human and machine planners is the main objective. To demonstrate the problems and solutions we have tackled, we have built a number of prototypes that solve basic collaborative problems in both a small air campaign scenario and in a small business logistics scenario. Many of these programs are available on the Web.
