An Agent-Based Architecture for a Cooperation Information System Supporting the Homecare

Abstract

Nowadays, the organization of homecare arouses an increasing interest. By organization, we mean particularly the choice of the partners, distribution's problems, tasks' coordination, and the resolution of all participants' resources-conflicts. The quality of the homecare relies on the competences, the qualifications of the participating partners and their organization. It is evident that agent's paradigm is the most suitable among other paradigms because it is capable of taking into account all these aspects. In this paper we would like to present an agent-based architecture for a cooperation information system that supports the homecare and contains all the necessary constituents for its functioning.
