This context makes the process of taking design decisions more difficult and slow. Nowadays, definition of variables and constraints is a key issue, that experts related with product design have to face throughout the product lifecycle. A Multi-Agent system is proposed for tutoring experts in a standardized manner for the definition of variables and constraints. This domain specific knowledge will be use to build "Constraint Satisfaction Problem" models to support early stages of product design, specifically embodiment design. © 2011 Springer-Verlag.enghttps://v2.sherpa.ac.uk/id/publication/issn/0302-9743info:eu-repo/semantics/conferencePaperCollaborative WorkConstraint Satisfaction ProblemsDesign decisionsDomain-specific knowledgeEmbodiment designEngineering design knowledgeGeographical locationsMulti-agent approachProduct-life-cycleCollaborative WorkDomain-specific knowledgeEmbodiment designEngineering design knowledgeGeographical locationsMulti-agent approachProduct design processProduct-life-cycleIntelligent agentsKnowledge based systemsKnowledge representationLife cycleMulti agent systemsOntologyConstraint satisfaction problemsIntelligent agentsKnowledge based systemsKnowledge representationLife cycleMulti agent systemsOntologyProduct designProduct design2021-04-12Mejía-Gutiérrez, R.Cálad-Álvarez, A.Ruiz-Arenas, S.10.1007/978-3-642-23863-5_61
