Abstract:This paper presents a model to represent situated action in farming systems. The basic idea is to invert the classical vision of action that stipulates that action is a consequence of a decision process and a plan. We consider action as mainly dictated by a situation created by the interaction of the actor and his/her environment. Hence, action is a process that emerges from this situation. Thus, in this paper we treat the question of how to model action as an emergence process from the situations created by actors and their environment? For this, our model is based on multiagent system as well as on the affordance, emergence and stigmergy concepts (this paper emphasizes mainly the first two).
This paper describes a System of Information Systems (SoIS) to capitalize heterogeneous resources of collaborative activities in perspective of strategic analysis. The de-centralization of work processes have led organizations to respond to their dynamic environments and nomads practices by using collaborative software such as brainstorming environment. The outputs of a brainstorming are huge amounts of knowledge that need to be shared, capitalized and structured to generate a support for new discussions. While preparing, or during a brainstorming, participants may use other systems/web tools to gather more information. This information are external resources that improve the brainstorming efficiency and have to be capitalized in the same way as the knowledge produced during the brainstorming to "re-invent" the way of strategic analysis. It is therefore a matter of managing a set of resources generated by a set of independent systems. For this, we propose a solution based on SoIS approach. More precisely, we propose a solution to integrate a collaborative application called ECOPACK within a large SoIS called MEMORAeSoIS. ECOPACK is a digital ecosystem that meets the needs of ideation, innovation and strategic analysis. It offers several functionalities such as the capitalization of resources produced during a meeting. However, as mentioned above, participants may use resources coming from other systems. To allow capitalizing external resources, we use the MEMORAeSoIS that provides the ability to manage resources of autonomous systems. We illustrate our proposition by a scenario on the challenges of France's naval defense. This paper provides a solution based on the System of Information Systems approach to capitalize collaborative activities.
