Agent.Hospital — Health Care Applications of Intelligent Agents (original) (raw)

2006, International Handbooks on Information Systems

In SPP 1083 the Hospital Logistics group studies the applicability of agent-based information systems in health care business scenarios by identifying problems, analyzing requirements, elaborating the state of the art of conventional and agent-based systems, specifying and designing multiagent applications, and evaluating their application. This chapter includes a survey of both the projects forming the group and their collaboration in order to integrate the systems designed by them into the agent testbed named Agent.Hospital. Therefore, two exemplary (hospital) processes are presented involving each project's multiagent application. Also, the ontology OntHoS and agent infrastructure services used in Agent.Hospital are shown.
