CV-Muzar using a Multiagent System for groups formation

The purpose of this paper is to present two agents’ societies responsible for groups formation (sub-communities) in CV-Muzar (Augusto Ruschi Zoobotanical Museum Virtual Community of the University of Passo Fundo). The first is a static society that intends to investigate the groups in the CV-Muzar. The second is a dynamical society that will analyze the existing groups and look for participants that have common subjects in order to constitute a sub-community. The formation of sub-communities is a new module within the CV-Muzar that intends to bring the participants together according to two scopes: interests’ similarity and knowledge complementarities.
