Abstract
Knowledge management has become an important topic as organisations wish to take advantage of the information that they produce and that can be brought to bear on present decisions. This work describes a system to manage the information and knowledge generated during the software maintenance process, which consumes a large part of the software lifecycle costs. The architecture of the system is formed from a set of agent communities, each community is in charge of managing a specific type of knowledge. The agents can learn from previous experience and share their knowledge with other agents, or communities.
