Monitoring Information

The application of a multi-agent approach to the implementation of intelligent monitoring technologies in the form of monitoring information systems allows them to acquire new properties under replacing monitoring tasks. In crisis situations, when the properties of monitoring objects change dramatically, the monitoring information system is required to be able to obtain information about new properties of objects in the absence of new observations of the behavior of these objects. The informativeness of ex-isting data sets is declining. To provide information on decision-making processes during the period of accumulation of the results of new observations requires a significant increase in the capacity of the means of extracting this information from existing data sets. Towards this, it is proposed to build moni-toring information systems as a set of agents and methods of building relationships between them. It is proposed to provide the possibility of increasing the power of information transformation means by building supra-agent formations – agent functionalities. Since the requirements for agent functionals at different levels of the hierarchical structure of MIS are different, it is proposed to distinguish multiagent and polyagent functionals. They differ in purpose, structure, compatibility of arrays of input data on which their agents were built, methods of formation of relations between agents. What they have in common is the echelon structure, ensuring the adaptability of information technologies of intelligent monitoring to changes in the properties of objects and replacement of monitoring tasks. A new method of forming relations between agents in the form of ascending construction of the structure of agent functionals is proposed. The process of formation of polyagent space is described. The dependence of the emergence of the agent functional on the informativeness of the polyagent space has been experimental-ly proved.

With the advancement of technology, patient information has been being computerized in order to facilitate the work of healthcare professionals and improve the quality of healthcare delivery. However, there are many heterogeneous information systems that need to communicate, sharing information and making it available when and where it is needed. To respond to this requirement the Agency for Integration, Diffusion, and Archiving of medical information (AIDA) was created, a multi-agent and service-based platform that ensures interoperability among healthcare information systems. In order to improve the performance of the platform, beyond the SWOT analysis performed, a system to prevent failures that may occur in the platform database and also in machines where the agents are executed was created. The system has been implemented in the Centro Hospitalar do Porto (one of the major Portuguese hospitals), and it is now possible to define critical workload periods of AIDA, improving high availability and load balancing. This is explored in this chapter.

Basic approaches to creating hardware and software for radiation monitoring information systems have been developed in the article. A modern information system for radiation monitoring and control that requires a comprehensive approach and an iterative process of its creation has been developed. The proposed approach to integrating local measuring devices with cloud services, using M2M/IoT technology for remote measurements, advanced semiconductor sensors based on CdTe and CdZnTe radiation detectors, modern microcontroller and communication microchips is highly promising. Developed hardware and software solutions demonstrate increased accuracy due to hardware and software correction of measurement results. A variant of the architectural solution for building a platform for remote access to dosimetric and radiometric measurements is being developed. The solution lies in the direction of improving the parameters of detectors, as well as the characteristics of electronic modules of detecting systems and creating software for controlling the detection process, collecting and digital processing of information, and its adequate presentation to users online. The architecture and structural diagram of a dosimetric system, a sequence diagram, a diagram of a dosimetric system with a subsystem for data exchange over the Internet have been created. A new algorithm for measuring the exposure dose rate of ionizing radiation has been proposed. The block diagram of a microcontroller dosimeter has been developed. The algorithm for correcting the dependence of the sensitivity of the detector based on CdZnTe on the energy of the detected gamma quanta has already been proposed. The algorithm significantly reduces the uncertainty of measuring the radiation dose rate. The architecture and block diagram of the dosimetric system with the possibility of remote access and remote control of the main functions has been presented as well. The calculation of the exposure dose of gamma radiation and the power of the exposure dose with the energy dependence correction have been used. The system elements have proved to be useful for students’ distant laboratory work during the quarantine.

Multi Agent

One of the key challenges in the healthcare sector is to adapt Health Information Systems to requirements coming from changing societies. In recent years, governments and international healthcare organizations defined a series of requirements for new generation Health Information Systems: they have to preserve past investments on legacy systems, but must also integrate new technologies, include the patient among their users, and ensure that clinical information are available at all times, even in places far from where information are physically stored. This paper proposes a multi agent-oriented architecture for Health Information Systems, which uses international standards for communication and management of clinical documents. The architecture tries to effectively model a generic healthcare organization, and aims at being easily extensible and adaptable to the particularities of specific healthcare systems. The authors present two experimental scenarios to test the proposed multi-agent health information system. In the first, they show how to model a specific use case, a radiology workflow, using agents and well-known standards; in the second one the authors demonstrate how a mobile application can use the services provided by the agents to support the medical staff in an emergency situation.

Based on the meta-model of information systems presented in Zhu (2006), this chapter presents a caste-centric agent-oriented methodology for evolutionary and collaborative development of information systems. It consists of a process model called growth model, and a set of agent-oriented languages and software tools that support various development activities in the process. At the requirements analysis phase, a modelling language and environment called CAMLE supports the analysis and design of information systems. The semi-formal models in CAMLE can be automatically transformed into formal specifications in SLABS, which is a formal specification language designed for formal engineering of multi-agent systems. At implementation, agent-oriented information systems are implemented directly in an agent-oriented programming language called SLABSp. The features of agent-oriented information systems in general and our methodology in particular are illustrated by an example throughout the chapter.
