1st International Workshop on Agent supported Cooperative Work
Lyon, France, 28/10/2007–31/10/2007

In today's challenging global market, companies have to innovate in order to improve competitiveness and business performance. Several approaches exist for supporting companies in this innovation challenge. They are mainly based upon Knowledge Management techniques. Agents and Multi-Agent Systems may offer solutions to model (multiple) organisations involved in collaborative design activities.
