This paper describes PeCo-Mediator-II to seek capable cooperators through a chain of personal connections (PeCo) in a networked organization. Moreover, this system helps to gather, explore, and visualize social networks in an organization. The experimental results show that the system facilitates users' encounters with cooperators and develops new helpful connections with the cooperators.collaborative help networksmediationon-line social networkspersonal connectionssoftware agentsText/Journal Article10.1023/A:10112164312961573-7551
