Abstract:
By using agent technology, a versatile and modular monitoring system can be built. This paper describes how such a system can be implemented. The roles of agents in this multiagent system are described as well as their interactions. The system can be trained to detect several combinations of conditions and react accordingly. This training can be done with specific patient situations in mind, resulting in a personalised monitoring system. Because of the distributed nature of the system, the concept can be used in many situations, especially when combinations of different sensor inputs are used. Another advantage of the approach presented in this paper is the fact that every monitoring system can be adapted to specific situations by varying the number and types of sensors and the messaging capability. As a case-study, a health monitoring system will be presented.
