This paper proposes knowledge intensive engineering that is a new way of engineering activities in various product life cycle stages flexibly conducted with more knowledge to create more added value. Knowledge representation and modeling issues are discussed and a cooperative multiple intelligent agent architecture based on multiple ontology is proposed for building a Knowledge Intensive Engineering Framework (KIEF). KIEF can be used as a knowledge intensive CAD for knowledge intensive design of knowledge intensive machines. This demonstrates the power and usefulness of knowledge intensive engineering. It is also discussed that to achieve knowledge intensive engineering, systematization of knowledge is an essential process to allow intelligent agents to share accumulated knowledge.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
