Abstract :
We report in this article the design of a multiagent platform adapted to innovating and distributed design mechanical systems. This platform (PLACID) must support applications of assistance to actors implies in a design process whom we call μ-tools. It is developed with an aim of bringing an assistance to the work of codesign. The use of the paradigm agent as well relates to the modeling and the development of the various layers of the platform that those of the interfaces. With these objectives constraints are added to facilitate the integration of new cooperative tools.
