There are an increasing number of applications that support communications in network communities. As the architecture of these applications, cooperative distributed agents are suitable for adapting to dynamic changes in community organizations. We are developing a platform named Shine as a common base for implementing network community applications in a cooperative distributed architecture. The paper describes the platform's significance, requirements, and design policy. We also show an example of building a network community support system on top of the platform.
