Abstract

Multi-agent systems have been importantly contributing to the development of the theory and the practice of complex distributed systems and, in particular, they 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. Multi-agent systems can be considered a suitable technology for the realization of applications for providing e-health services 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.
