Abstract

This paper describes a method of multi-agent analysis and design for reactive, real-time information systems, relating to complex and risks applications in medicine. According to specific needs in emergency healthcare units : spatio-temporal deployment of heterogeneous tasks, non-determinism of actors and self-organization in an unpredictable and/or disrupted environment, we propose MAYBE - Multi-Agent Yield-Based Engineering. MAYBE is a solution that makes possible for the agents to evolve and adapt by instantiation in different contexts. This paper details the various stages of the methodology applied to an emergency case, in parallel with the computerization of the process. It also compares the issues with other current work.
