With ubiquitous connectivity on the horizon, collaborative computing will be one of the major applications in the evolution of computing and communication. In this paper we present an architecture for Agent Mediated CSCW system and describe its special characteristics. We point out that a challenging research issue in Agent Mediated CSCW concerns the task of event perception. We also propose a method which constructs an eigen-pyramid to perform this task when the number of devices is huge. We present experimental results to verify these methods.
