Agents to help context-aware system in home care

Abstract

Context-aware systems capture information from the attributes located within their surroundings and deal with different ways of interacting with the user in its environment. This paper proposes a multi-agent system that processes and reasons the data it receives in order to identify and maintain a permanent fix on the location of a patient at home, while reliably and securely managing the infrastructure of services in its environment. The proposed multi-agent system was used to develop a prototype for controlling dependent persons in their home. The results obtained are presented in this paper.
