A Multi-agent Architecture for Distributed Design

Lecture Notes in Computer Science, 2003

As problems become more complex, teamwork is becoming increasingly important. This paper proposes a multiagent architecture to support multidisciplinary design teams that cooperate in a distributed design environment. Using ontologies and multi-agent systems, the proposed framework addresses resource allocation problems and aims to optimise design process operation and management.

Multi-agent Support for Distributed Engineering Design

Innovations in Applied Artificial Intelligence, 2005

Characterised by geographical, temporal, functional and/or semantic distribution, today&amp;a... more Characterised by geographical, temporal, functional and/or semantic distribution, today&amp;amp;#x27;s enterprise models engage multiple design teams with heterogeneous skills cooperating together in order to achieve global optima in design. The success of this distributed design organization depends on critical factors such as the efficient management of the design related information circulated in the distributed environment and the support for the necessary cooperation process among participants dispersed across the enterprise. This ...

Semantic tools for knowledge management in distributed engineering design

10th International Conference on Concurrent Enterprising, Sevilla, Spain

Emerging enterprise models involve multidisciplinary design teams with access to distributed reso... more Emerging enterprise models involve multidisciplinary design teams with access to distributed resources cooperating together in order to achieve global 'optima'in design. A crucial element for success within distributed design environments is the cooperation process among dispersed participants. Also, the efficient management of the design related information structures circulated in the distributed environment plays a critical role in the efficiency and effectiveness of the design process. The availability of the software ...

Development of engineering design methodologies and software tools to support the creative process of design in a distributed environment

Proceedings of the 14th International Conference on Engineering Design ICED03, 2003

Extensive work has been carried out on passive information management systems for design, however, very little work has been carried out in the muchneeded area of proactive, holistic knowledge management and presentation systems required by the extended enterprise. In this paper we propose an agent-based system to access, retrieve and present information (both visually and auditorially) to distributed design teams, in such a way that their collective conceptual space is expanded [2], learning strategies are supported [3] and design solutions are optimised [4]. This agent based information system will support the distributed design process whilst considering human and ICT protocols, for the purposes of enhancing design, learning, creativity, communication and productivity.

An agent-based approach to knowledge management in distributed design

Journal of Intelligent Manufacturing, 2006

In order to achieve global optima in design, there is an increasing need for design teams to establish and maintain cooperative work through effective communication, co-location, coordination and collaboration at the knowledge level. Because of the distributed nature of users and information resources involved in the design process, the need for appropriate ...
