RT Conference Proceedings T1 Knowledge-based intelligent design assistant A1 Gorostiza, Álvaro A1 Stokic, Dragan A1 Robinson, David A1 Sorli, Mikel AB This paper introduces the objectives and work planned of the ASSIST project that aims at achieving a breakthrough in the use of advanced agent-based knowledge management techniques in real industrial practice, within an innovative ICT solution affordable to SMEs. The main business aim is to produce a leap forward in industrial design performance in SMEs. Knowledge useful to design engineers comes in many forms and useful knowledge can come from many sources inside and outside the SME. A common need amongst SMEs is to be able to acquire and process this knowledge so that a greater, richer, centralised source of knowledge and information is available to produce better designs, faster, with greater innovation, and with less re-inventing of the wheel. The most important needs of SMEs with regard to design are to get good products to the marketplace quicker, and to reduce costs related to design. ASSIST is a unique agent-based knowledge management approach meeting these needs. PB Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
