Abstract
Modern product development processes require increasingly the multi-disciplinary collaboration of experts but for the integration of specialized applications into a concurrent engineering environment mechanisms for coordinating sessions have to be established.
We describe the architecture of a system of multiple agents supplying the functionality of a sieve for messages sent to a common database system. Several floor policies are provided in a interpretable way in order to achieve user acceptance on the one hand and to maintain coordination of various applications in one session on the other hand.
