“…Workflow Management Systems (WFMS) are currently introduced into clinical routine to manage established clinical pathways on a daily routine basis within a clinical setting with limited communication to outside entities [16]. The proposed MAS focus on communication with patients that are living outside the clinic.…”

Healthcare is costing lot of money and resources all over the world in all countries; it consumes almost 30-40 percent of their budget in the healthcare industry. The only solution is to make this health care industry automated and online. In this paper we are proposing a software design framework for health care systems which will be based on agent technologies. The proposed system is based on Artificial Intelligence techniques that can support the user for selection and making choices. The proposed software framework suggested that Multi-Agent Systems (MAS) is the most suitable technique for designing such systems.MAS collaborate intelligently for solving this complex problem. Patients can be supported remotely using the proposed framework so that it can reduce the patient load on hospitals, the proposed software framework operate on real time framework. Computing can help in improving the communication process between follow-up doctors and nurses with patients by making appointments the process easier, according to patient preference with a reminder on necessary actions such as taking scheduled prescribed medicine, engaging in exercises, avoiding some kinds of food and harmful habits such as smoking before and after patient.

“…The interface itself reuses components developed in the Gamebots and Javabots project to connect to UT2004. Some gamespecific JACK code has been developed to explore, achieve, and win [29]. The interface provides a way to interface JACK agents to UT2004 but does not provide a design of an interface that facilitates reuse.…”

We introduce an interface for connecting agent platforms to environments. This interface provides generic functionality for executing actions and for perceiving changes in an agent's environment. It also provides support for managing an environment, e.g., for starting, pausing and terminating it. Among the benefits of such an interface are (1) standard functionality is provided by the interface implementation itself, and (2) agent platforms that support the interface can connect to any environment that implements the interface. This significantly reduces effort required from agent and environment programmers as the environment code needed to implement the interface needs to be written only once. We propose that the interface presented may be used as a standard that enables agents to control entities in environments. Our starting point for designing such a generic interface is based on a careful study of the various interfaces used by different agent programming languages to connect agent programs to environments. We discuss several case studies that use our interface (an elevator simulator, the well-known agent contest, and an implementation of the interface to connect agents to bots in Unreal Tournament 2004).

“…Several works discussed the features that make a software infrastructure suitable for the development of such environments; see, for example, [26,28,34,47,57]. The list of such features is very long and includes: adaptation, context awareness, distribution, interoperability, invisibility, mob ility and scalability.…”

Developing Pervasive and Adaptive Applications with MAADE

Pervasive computing is one of the most active research fields because it promises the creation of environments where computing and communication devices are effectively integrated with users so th at applications can provide largely invisible support for tasks performed by users. This paper presents an environment for software development, called MAADE (Multi Adaptive Agent Development Environment), and aimed at the implementation of mult i-agent systems for pervasive and adaptive applications using both: (i) agents and multi-agent systems properties and (ii) composition filters for driving and dynamically adapting the behaviour of the system. MAADE allows the realization of both intentional and reactive agents, which live in an environment constituted by passive objects exposing their features in the form of available services. Thanks to its modular nature, the framework is proving particularly effective for allowing graduate students to experiment with different models and protocols used in Distributed Systems. Moreover, it is being used for the realization of prototypal applications, including an ubiquitous social networking platform, with dynamical location and proximity groups.
