Multi-Agent Systems for the Application and Employing of E-Health Services
Federico Bergenti, Agostino Poggi · IGI Global eBooks · 2010
Multi-agent systems have been importantly contributing to the development of the theory and the practice of complex distributed systems and, in particular, have shown the potential to meet critical needs in high-speed, mission-critical content-rich and distributed information applications where mutual interdependencies, dynamic environments, uncertainty, and sophisticated control play a role. Therefore, multi-agent systems can be considered a suitable technology for the realization of healthcare applications where the use of loosely coupled and heterogeneous components, the dynamic and distributed management of data and the remote collaboration among users are often the most relevant requirements.
