Knowledge Driven Architecture for Home Care

Multi-Agent Systems (MAS) in health-care domains are showing a rapid increase, in order to manage complex tasks and adapt gracefully to unexpected events. On the other hand, the lack of well-established agentoriented engineering methodologies to transform knowledge level descriptions into deployable agent systems slackens MAS development. This paper presents a new methodology in modelling and automatically implementing agents in a home care domain. The representation of the application knowledge together with the codification of health care treatments lead to flexible realization of an agent platform that has the capability to capture new medical knowledge emerging from physicians.
