Abstract
Awareness, in this work, means keeping the members of a team conscious about the centers of interest of their colleagues. We have developed an algorithm based on textual retrieval techniques that builds the center of interest of a user from the traces of his/her computer operations (e.g. documents, web pages). Each user is notified of similar centers of interest thanks to a society of agents. We present the construction of the centers of interest, the notification protocol, and an experiment with real data.
