This paper describes an agent based approach to patient scheduling using experience based learning and an integer programming model. The evaluation on different learning techniques shows that the experience based learning EBL provides a better solution. The time required to process a particular job is reduced as the experience processed by it increases. The processing time can be calculated with the help of EBL. The main objective of this patient scheduling system is to reduce the waiting time of patient in hospitals and to complete their treatment in minimum required time. The proposed framework is implemented in JADE. In this approach the patients are represented as patient agent PA and resources as resource agent RA. This mathematical model provides an optimal solution. The comparisons of the proposed framework with other scheduling rules shows that an agent based approach to patient scheduling using EBL gives better results.
