Abstract (Spanish)
En este artículo presentamos el uso del conocimiento para un Sistema de Mediación, desarrollado para dar soporte a los participantes en actividades de diseño de sistemas mecánicos. Para usar un sistema cooperativo se necesita suficiente asistencia para facilitar y coordinar las actividades de los actores. Para lograr este objetivo introducimos un actor artificial: el Mediador. El Mediador forma parte del grupo de colaborativos, con el papel específico de facilitar la actividad cooperativa. Este papel de asistencia, diferencia al Mediador de otros actores. Éste está dotado de habilidades específicas de cooperación (comunicación, sensibilización, coordinación, comorización), requiriendo de unos conocimientos adquiridos, que le permitan prestar asistencia a los actores humanos. Definiremos los tipos de conocimiento definidos para nuestro Sistema de Mediación propuesto. Luego ilustraremos el uso del conocimiento memorizado por parte del Mediador durante una actividad de análisis funcional técnico.
Abstract (English)
In this article we present the use of knowledge for a Mediation System, developed to give support to participants in mechanical-system-designer activities. To use a cooperative system sufficient assistance is needed to facilitate and coordinate actors’ activities. To accomplish this goal we introduce an artificial actor: Mediator.The Mediator forms part of the group of collaborative, with the specific role of facilitating the cooperative activity. This role of assistance, differentiate the Mediator from other actors. This one is endowed with specific skills of cooperation (communication; awareness, coordination, co-memorization), requiring some acquired knowledge, which allow them to give assistance to the human actors. We will define the types of knowledge defined for our proposed Mediation System. Then we will illustrate the use of memorized knowledge by the Mediator during an activity of technical functional analysis.
