Abstract

We describe the MULTIMOLD project for the development of a multi-agent system to provide flexible integration of software tools belonging to the developers, adapted to support the specific needs of the mould-maker for the mould project, supervision, design and calculation of the mould. The system has a single user interface adapted to the user´s language and culture, independently of the software packages used, making it easy to access and use in a transparent manner and will provide users with an adequate base for resolving problems and aiding decision-making in the process of mould calculation and design, while supporting processing of users´ specific know-how
