Abstract
The present report documents the research activities undertaken in Task 3.2 of the COMIC project.
The objective of the three years of research of Strand 3 is to de- velop a conceptual foundation for designing computational mecha- nisms of interaction for CSCW applications that can support the complex task of articulating distributed cooperative activities.
The present deliverable argues that a common computational notation for constructing different types of computational mecha- nisms of interaction is feasible and specifies a three level architecture by means of which the notation in principle makes it possible to construct mechanisms of interaction that are malleable to any degree deemed appropriate for any particular setting.
