Abstract-In a virtual society, which consists of several autonomous agents, trust helps agents to deal with the openness of the system by identify ing the best agents capable of performing a specific task, or achieving a special goal. In this paper, we introduce ROSTAM, a new approach for agent trust management based on the theory of Rough Sets. ROSTAM is a generic trust management framework that can be applied to any types of mu lti agent systems. However, the features of the application do main must be provided to ROSTAM. These features form the trust attributes. By collecting the values for these attributes, ROSTAM is able to generate a set of trust rules by employing the theory of Rough Sets. ROSTAM then uses the trust rules to extract the set of the most trusted agents and forwards the user's request to those agents only. After getting the results, the user must rate the interaction with each trusted agent. The rating values are subsequently utilized for updating the trust rules. We applied ROSTAM to the domain o f cross -language Web search. The resulting Web search system reco mmends to the user the set of the most trusted pairs of translator and search engine in terms of the pairs that return the results with the highest precision of retrieval.

“…The paper considers a six-layered FIPA-ACL model which is inspired in a recent revised FIPA-ACL model [7]. The approach based on layers is taken to better organize and build the interaction components from an engineering perspective because it lets specify not only interaction components but also computation in the context of runtime message validation process [8]. The focus of the paper is to describe the components needed at each layer by means of development tools implemented in our agent interaction framework and not to discuss in depth this communication model.…”

Abstract. Despite the acceptance of FIPA-ACL as a standard for agent communications, there exist a gap between its specification and infrastructures to support interactions among agents. The hypothesis we study in this paper is that interaction space components must be specified and described in depth by taking into account an explicit six-layered FIPA-ACL communication model. Based on this model, generic components can be described for a FIPA-ACL interaction framework. An implementation for interaction components is given within the CAPNET agent platform in an integrated way with the agent interaction architecture. Working with interaction space capabilities for engineering agent interactions is pointed out through a MAS example.

“…Each information exchange between agents is wrapped inside an ACL message before being sent to the receiver, who performs the response with the additional overhead of checking semantics to determine whether the received message content can be interpreted, that is whether it is meaningful [221]. This procedure is quite challenging in open applications, where not all agents' messages are expected to carry content that is semantically correct and consistent.…”

Methodological support to develop interoperable applications for pervasive healthcare

The healthcare model currently being used in most countries will soon be inadequate, due to the increasing care costs of a growing population of elderly people, the rapid increase of chronic diseases, the growing demand for new treatments and technologies, and the relative decrease in the number of healthcare professionals with respect to the population increase. This healthcare model, which is centered on highly specialized people, located in large hospitals, needs to change into a distributed model, in order to produce faster responses and to allow patients to manage their own health. This centralized healthcare model also implies that patients and healthcare professionals have to move to the same place (a hospital or clinic) for the healthcare services to be delivered, and it is often expensive and inefficient. A distributed healthcare model that pervades the daily lives of the citizens is more appropriate to provide less expensive and more effective and timely healthcare, and characterizes Pervasive Healthcare. In Pervasive Healthcare, novel information and communication technologies are applied to support the provision of health services anywhere, at anytime and to anyone.This thesis aims at demonstrating the feasibility of using healthcare standards, ubiquitous computing technologies, service-oriented architecture principles, and software agents, to develop interoperable applications for exchanging messages in Pervasive Healthcare environments. This thesis presents a Reusable Architecture and a Message Generator that employ these technologies for achieving its aim. Our Reusable Architecture and Message Generator also meet the requirements of interoperability between heterogeneous healthcare information systems that are usually found in Pervasive Healthcare environments.In this work, a case study was performed in a realistic distributed healthcare environment, where three usage scenarios were defined in the cardiology domain: delivery of laboratory analysis results, schedule of an appointment for pacemaker evaluation, and support of a medical staff II ABSTRACT meeting to prepare for a cardiac surgery. Using the Reusable Architecture and the Message Generator, three applications were built for these scenarios, and they were employed and evaluated by both healthcare professionals and patients. The experiments were conducted in a distributed environment that consists of three cardiology clinics, one analysis laboratory, and the cardiology department of the Santa Casa Hospital of Marília (São Paulo, Brazil). The evaluation of these applications was carried out using the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM), since this model is generally considered as appropriate to explain technology acceptance. The evaluation involved a limited but representative set of healthcare professionals and patients.We showed that the methodology proposed in this thesis truly facilitates the development of Pervasive Healthcare. The proposed methodology preserves the investment in the legacy healthcare information systems and allow...
