The problem, which was addressed in this project, was the creeping loss of competence of the user when using conventional knowledge based systems. Therefore two main points were the aims of the project. At first it was concentrated on using the Multi-Agent architecture. The second aim was the development of design guidelines for competence promoting decision support systems. The promotion of competence was realised by offering different opinions about a problem to force decisions of the user. Two agents with different views on the diagnosis problem were implemented. Diagnosis strategies and data were analysed with regard to the different views and the integration into the system. At last methods to measure the effect on the competence of the user were developed and tested.
