Abstract

This paper focus on results related to the design of a model of a Computer-based Interactive Learning Environment adopting a multi-agent approach. Questions related to why and how adopt this approach are addressed. We begin presenting and emphasizing the definition of both a view of the domain knowledge structure and a model for it. Then, we show the consequences of this toward the definition of a multi-agent system, leading to a complete learning environment. Related to this environment we define its characteristics and its agent model. Moreover, we discuss both the interaction model among agents and between a human learner and the System. Finally, we focus on the interactions among agents during Problem solving activities, discussing the interaction language and the interaction protocols.
