- Abstract:
-
In this paper we describe a canonical architecture for an autonomous agent that can be utilised in single and multi-agent healthcare applications. The architecture comprises a set of components whose properties are summarised as a set of software signatures specifying the invariant pre-condition post-condition (input-output) pattern of each component. Components interact through shared data structures, which are defined by means of complex data types which specify standard interfaces. This allows, for example, a component with a particular design to be replaced by another with a different design. Development of the canonical model has been informed by the ASPIC project, and a first implementation of the model is being validated on a standard multi-agent healthcare scenario developed as part of ASPIC.
