Abstract
The emphasis on building co-operative/collaborative environments has brought out the matter of group interactions, together with the issue of conflicts. If well employed, conflicts can trigger cognitive changesa. In this paper, we present the results obtained in the experimental studies carried out to evaluate our framework for detecting and mediating Meta- Cognitive conflicts. The theoretical framework developed enables a computational system to analyse the ongoing interaction, to detect and to mediate conflicts. MArCo, our prototype, shows how our conceptual framework has been put to use. The results obtained in the experimental studies lead us to think that the approach is an interesting one, and should be developed further.
