Abstract

Today, the need for architectures and computational models for large scale open multi-agent systems is considered a key issue for the success of agent technology in real world scenarios. The main goal of this paper is to describe a case study in Home Care scenarios applying an abstract architecture and a computational model for large scale open multi-agent systems based on a service-oriented approach. The architecture used is THOMAS, which specifically addresses the design of Home Care systems. This paper presents services examples for the management of a dependent home environment, and demonstrates the new features of the proposal.
