Abstract
This paper describes the use of expectation formation as a method of multi-agent learning in design. We first describe how expectations can guide and improve multi-agent design. We then propose a particular method of acquiring expectations in multi-agent design systems, describe an architecture that implements the method, and discuss an application in a chosen design domain.
