Defining and Transforming Models of Parkinson Patients in the Development of Assisted-Living Multi-agent Systems with INGENIAS
Ivan Garc ́ ia-Magarino, Collado Villalba · 2013
Some people suffer from the Parkinson disease and need as- sistance for living. Multi-agent Systems (MASs) can provide a suitable solution for their assistance. However, each patient has different circum- stances, symptoms and skills that need assistance. This paper presents a model-driven approach for developing MASs customized for each patient. The current approach presents a metamodel for modeling Parkinson pa- tients as models. In addition, this paper introduces a suite of model transformations that can transform a Parkinson patient model into an initial MAS model. This MAS model can be refined by designers and the programming code can be generated from this model. This approach ap- plies the INGENIAS methodology for generating the MAS from a design model. Finally, a case study is presented as a proof of concept.
