Abstract: This article aims to present an agent based approach for modeling a groupware for strong collaboration among participants. This approach results from the combination of technologies and methods in the field of Computer Supported Cooperative Work (CSCW) with the Multi-Agent System (MAS). As regards the modeling of the main components; our approach takes into consideration all the main components of a system (Controller dialogue, Functional Core Adapter, Logical and Physical component of interaction). Also these approach able to achieve the tripartite model (Production, Coordination and Communication) of groupware.
