Abstract
Role-based collaboration (RBC) is proposed tosupport improved human collaboration through moreusable human-computer interfaces. To satisfy the objectivesof RBC, new practical tools are required.Role-based chatting is a typical instance of role-basedcollaboration. To design a role-based chatting tool involvesalmost all the fundamental problems of RBC. This paperpresents the design problems of role-based collaborationincluding model, engine and interface design, illustrates thescenario of role-based chatting, and describes theimplementation of a role-based chatting tool including itsarchitecture and components. The design of the chattingtool reflects all the principles outlined by role-basedcollaboration. This tool shows that role-based collaborationis practical and feasible. It also shows the possibility ofbuilding more complex role-based systems.
