Abstract/Summary: The paper presents an approach to PLM support. The approach is based on the idea to characterize all parties involved in PLM (the PLM community) by their roles (e.g., designer, production manager, customer, etc.) and to describe them via profiles. The profiles are associated with agent-based services that negotiate to take into account explicit and tacit preferences of the PLM parties.
