This project, funded by NWO-SION and coordinated by VU/AI, supports
cooperation between four research groups in the Netherlands: VU/AI,
University of Amsterdam/SWI, University of Twente/Knowledge-Based
Systems Group and the Energy Research Center ECN. For each of the
groups a Ph.D. student is funded by the project. This project
focusses on the design and development of (knowledge-based) support
systems
for redesign.

Joint research on modeling techniques for multi-agent systems,
together
with dr. B. Dunin-Keplicz has resulted in three joint publications
on modeling complex systems.
- prof. dr R. Gustafson, Technological University of Ronneby.
The Technical University of Ronneby group has a strong tradition of
