After 20 years of personal experience in introducing advanced software into several engineering contexts (engineering consulting firms, construction companies, large diversified companies, and commercial research establishments), some observations may be of interest. Although some development efforts succeeded and software is still in use, not one development effort has met the expectations that were expressed at the beginning of the project. The least successful experiences are design applications.

A main theme of concurrent engineering is the effective communication between relevant disciplines. Any computer tools for concurrent engineering must provide sufficient constructs and strategies for this purpose. This paper describes the AGENTS system, a domain-independent general-purpose Object-Oriented Prolog language for cooperating expert systems in concurrent engineering design. Emphasis is placed on demonstrating the use of the AGENTS constructs for distributed knowledge representation and the cooperation strategies for communication, collaboration, conflict resolution, and control. A simple case study is presented to illustrate the balance between simplicity and flexibility.
