Abstract

In mechanical engineering, robust solutions have to be determined from open and ill-structured solution spaces. In order to actively support the engineer in this decision-making, multi-agent systems represent a promising approach for modular, decentralized, changeable, and complex tasks. To identify existing use cases of multi-agent systems in product development and their support for designers, the authors conducted an extensive literature search. A mental model is used for the literature analysis and synthesis that documents current applications and identifies potentials, which are summarized in a research agenda.
