Results of multi-agent system and ontology to manage ideas and represent knowledge in a challenge of creativity
This is an incremental approach for participants in creativity workshops to handle distributed and heterogeneous idea information.
The paper tackles the problem of managing heterogeneous ideas and knowledge in distributed creativity workshops by developing a multi-agent system and ontology, resulting in an intelligent system that assists participants in idea management.
This article is about an intelligent system to support ideas management as a result of a multi-agent system used in a distributed system with heterogeneous information as ideas and knowledge, after the results about an ontology to describe the meaning of these ideas. The intelligent system assists participants of the creativity workshop to manage their ideas and consequently proposing an ontology dedicated to ideas. During the creative workshop many creative activities and collaborative creative methods are used by roles immersed in this creativity workshop event where they share knowledge. The collaboration of these roles is physically distant, their interactions might be synchrony or asynchrony, and the information of the ideas are heterogeneous, so we can say that the process is distributed. Those ideas are writing in natural language by participants which have a role and the ideas are heterogeneous since some of them are described by schema, text or scenario of use. This paper presents first, our MAS and second our Ontology design.
