Abstract
In a distributed knowledge management system, knowledge is firstly produced and then delivered to a person or community of users that is interested in it. Knowledge creation or production is a set of cooperative tasks that need to be coordinated. A multiagent architecture is introduced for this aim, where knowledge-producing agents are arranged into knowledge domains or marts, and a distributed interaction protocol is used to consolidate knowledge that is generated. The knowledge that is produced in this way is used as the source data to dynamically build user communities that can drive the delivery of knowledge amongst users.
