Abstract

This paper discusses how to manage the knowledge associated with dimensions: social, natural, cultural, political, intellectual and physical of local communities. The portal manages communities of practice through collaborative environments, content management, applications on line and intelligence to community, learning environments, relations based on social multi-agent systems and ontologies with semantic representation. Multi-agent systems enable participation and empowerment for e-government, e-business, e-participation and e-learning; the multiple roles aim to reach activity behavior by changing the passive observer becoming a dynamic individual co-constructor of the domain knowledge. The social collaboration process using multi-agent technologies provides distribution, cooperation, intelligence, pro-activity, reactivity, scalability, adaptability among others properties; offering a decentralized model own community interaction; agents perceive and influence aspects of their distributed environment, and learn about it. Multi-Agent Portal systems based on social simulation can improve the recent models incorporating cognitive architectures, as they provide a realistic basis for modeling individual agents and therefore their social interactions.
