Abstract

In the last decades, multi-agent based modeling and simulation systems have become more increasingly used to model the dynamic and the complex healthcare systems which contain many variabilities and uncertainties such as the hospital emergency departments (ED). Modeling and creating virtual societies almost identical and similar to the reality are considered as the strongest advantages of these agents systems. However, during the dynamic development of the artificial societies, a massive volume of data, which generally contains non-express and shrouded information and even knowledge, is involved. Therefore, dealing with this data, to study and to analyze the unclear relationships and the emerging phenomena, is a well-known weakness and bottleneck that the multi-agent systems is suffering from. In conjunction, data mining techniques are the most powerful tools that can help simulation experts to tackle this issue. This paper presents an ongoing research that combines the multi-agent based modeling and simulation systems and data mining techniques to develop a decision support system to improve the operation of the emergency department.
