Abstract
Internet is not only an information highway, but also a mean to remotely control mechanical systems, such as mobile systems. The Internet limits the quantity of information which can be transmitted and introduces delays which can make the remote control difficult or impossible. The solutions, proposed to face the limitations of the communication channel, are founded on the autonomy and the intelligence based on multi-agents systems granted to the mobile system in order to interact with its environment and to collaborate with the remote user. Interactions play an important role for the coordination and the cooperation of agents in a multi-agents system. In this context, the expression and the management of these interactions constitute significant stakes. In this paper, we propose an abstraction of these interactions where an interaction is regarded as a shared resource separated from the internal architecture of agents and easily reused by them. In a first part, we describe and compare the interaction-oriented approach to the classic one. Then a list of properties is given to show the benefit to consider an interaction, not only as a communication means, but also as an entity shared by all agents and not reserved to some of them. An illustration of our approach is given in a remote control application of two mobile systems using VRML.
