This paper addresses the functionality of care devices and telecare applications in terms of agent interactions. It focuses on the kind of interactions involved between the agents, and how can agents determine or find other agents (or their functionality) in a service-oriented telecare environment. It explores the service-oriented architecture (SOA) together with the agent paradigm as a mechanism to deal with the handling, the negotiation and brokerage of telecare resources.
