The paper analyzes the use of a Multi Agent System for Model Based Diagnosis. In a large dynamical system, it is often infeasible or even impossible to maintain a model of the whole system. Instead, several incomplete models of the system have to be used to detect possible faults. These models may also be physically be distributed. A Multi Agent System of diagnostic agents may offer solutions f...

With the advent of Agent Technology, and the challenges facing the health care sector and also the distributive and complex nature of the activities in the medical domain, there is need to use the new programming paradigm in order is to explore, develop, design and implement a prototype system for multi-agent diabetes diagnosis that finds the possibility of illness based on the patient’s sympto...

agent technology is an emerging and promising research area in software technology, which increasingly contributes to the development of value-added information systems for large healthcare organizations due to its capability to automatically modify themselves in response to changes in their operating environment. multi agent system (mas) approach is the construction of a complex system as a se...

conclusions despite rapidity, automation, accuracy, cost-effectiveness, high sensitivity, and high specificity of molecular techniques, each type of molecular technology has its own advantages and disadvantages. results various types of molecular biology tools can be used to detect and quantify viral genomic elements and analyze the sequences. these molecular assays are proper technologies for ...

When several agents act in a common environment their plans may interfere. The predicted outcome of each plan may be altered and the usual notion of valid plan of classical (mono-agent) planification is not sufficient. In this paper we extend this framework to the multi-agent case. We show how the best plans of rational agents can be characterized using game-theoretic notions, especially Nash e...

The basic agents and services of a multi-agent diagnostic system implemented in the G2 real-time expert system environment are described in this paper. The following basic services of an agent platform relevant to diagnostic applications have been implemented: a general agent object that is capable of performing cyclic, ticker (clock triggered) and one-shot behaviors, sending and receiving mess...
