Abstract
Recent developments in Human-Computer Interaction (HCI), Computer Supported Cooperative Work (CSCW) and Distributed Artificial Intelligence (DAI) share a common problem: communication. We are moving towards a situation of multiple interacting systems. Some of these systems will be humans, others will be “intelligent” agents and still others will be “dumb” devices. Agents may be human or software systems. Unless we are clear as to the capabilities of these systems, serious misunderstandings and impoverished HCI will result. This chapter seeks to provide the basis of a theory of interaction within which communication can be understood and the capabilities of systems to communicate are brought to the foreground
