Abstract

The work we propose here is principally concerned with cooperative interaction control in virtual teams. The objective is to allow members of a virtual team to describe in a simple way cooperative interactions in term of cooperation policies. Policies is described by access and synchronization contracts established between members of the virtual team. Indeed, cooperative interactions in virtual teams occur in the more common case through role managing and activity synchronisation. Policies can be combined to support different types of cooperatives interactions even the complex ones.
