Objective
The ASSIST project is aimed at achieving a breakthrough in the use of advanced agent-based knowled 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 manysources 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. Knowledge is key to this, as the right knowledge and ideas in a well structured will help designers to improve their design performance. With the wide diversity of knowledge to be acquired, managed and processed, this requires research into the latest thinking in terms of semantic and context sensitive knowledge. It requires the investigation into agent-based knowledge management systems that can understand the knowledge and the environment it comes from. ASSIST will develop an approach to be able to understand the semantics of the knowledge that it acquires to be able to effectively manage it for the designers. This will enable ASSIST to effectively process context-specific knowledge, which exists in the industrial design domain, and to be able to process it into useful forms and present it to designers in a structured manner. The results will be the ASSIST methodology and prototype ASSIST system. implemented in 7 demonstrators.
