Abstract

In this chapter socio-cognitive theories of action and interaction are discussed w.r.t. to their (potential) application to software systems, multi-agent systems in particular, for the sake of improving the quality of the coordination processes as perceived by users. Accordingly, firstly those challenges peculiar to either Knowledge-Intensive Environments (KIE) or STS, which mostly impact the issue of coordination, are discussed (Sect. 5.1); then, some research works applying to computer-based Multi-Agent Systems (MAS) principles borrowed from Activity Theory (AT), (cognitive) stigmergy, and BIC are reviewed (Sect. 5.2); finally, the notion of perturbation action is described and related to BIC notion of tacit message (Sect. 5.3), so as to sketch the basic ideas underlying the approach to self-organising coordination in STS thoroughly detailed in Part II of this book.
