A complex system is concerned with several differential stages and heterogeneous skills of partners. To complete this type of design within a specific timeframe and with a reasonable cost, the task of design is distributed by nature. Getting geographically dispersed partners together to collaborate on a joint project is costly and time consuming. Developing a virtual teamwork based on web technology where the partners can express their opinions without traveling could reduce the complexity to meet them together in a place. With the advent of the internet and the techniques available from Distributed Artificial Intelligence (DAI), electronic collaborative design has become possible. Therefore, descriptions of architectures of query agent and manipulating agent are given, and two agents are considered for distributed collaborative design. One agent is dealing with T-Bar while the other agent is dealing with C-Bar. A typical square bar consisting of T-Bar and C-Bar is built using “Point to Point” notion. Knowledge Query and Manipulating Language (KQML) is used as a protocol for knowledge and information exchange.
