This paper presents an ongoing project on the application of intelligent software agents to engineering design and optimization. In this project, an agent-based e-engineering services framework for engineering design and optimization is proposed and being developed based on several advanced technologies, such as agents, Internet/Web, workflow and database. This framework aims at providing integrated or individual engineering services over the Internet that benefits small and medium enterprises (SMEs). A software prototype is currently being implemented using intelligent agents to integrate various engineering software tools. Scalability, intelligent load balancing and distributed decision-making are among the main characteristics that are highly expected from this system. A wheel-axle-assembly (part of a bogie system) is chosen as the test part of this prototype system.
