Abstract:
A local authority, the “Conseil Général de la Gironde” in France, manages various projects in different fields, like sustainable development, and coordinates public and private partners’ actions. The observation shows that each of them has only a partial vision of others’ skills and know-hows. Generally speaking, everywhere where human collaboration is needed, sharing skills is one of the problems identified. This work addresses these difficulties using a learning and collaborative multi-agent system to enhance skill sharing and management. One of the main innovations here is that skills are represented as autonomous agents, and not just as capabilities, as is usually the case.
