Abstract. Online e-health systems are being proposed and developed at an ever increasing rate. However, the progress relies on the interoperability of local healthcare software, and is often hampered by ad hoc methods leading to closed systems with a multitude of protocols, terminologies, and design approaches. Agent-oriented software engineering (AOSE) seems intuitively a good approach for developing more open systems. While agent-based e-health systems have been developed, the general hypothesis of the suitability of AOSE has not been evaluated. In this paper, we test that hypothesis, including a case study of applying a normative agent methodology to a particular real-world e-health system, and present an analysis of the strengths and weaknesses of AOSE for e-health.

The subject of this chapter is the application of models for social coordination (M4SC). Deriving from and extending multiagent systems (MAS), applications of M4SC inherit the attributes of MAS, such as multiple actors, distribution, and heterogeneity, but bring characteristics of their own that are essential to social coordination over and above conventional MAS. In this chapter, we first discuss these differentiating properties of M4SC, identifying essential and nonessential (but commonly occurring) characteristics. This we follow with a wideranging (but not exhaustive or exclusive) discussion of classes of M4SC applications, which are supported by structured, illustrative summaries of noteworthy examples of applications, created using the frameworks described elsewhere in this volume. Finally, we give an overview of a broader range applications developed with the frameworks, with links to further reading.
“…La metodología ROMAS define un proceso de desarrollo compuesto por actividades y tareas que guían a los desarrolladores en cada etapa del proceso (ver descripción detallada en [6]). ROMAS proporciona un conjunto de guías que facilitan el proceso de toma de decisión en puntos críticos del diseño tales como la identificación y formalización del marco normativo del sistema, así como las comunicaciones y los intercambios de servicios y recursos.…”
This article summarizes the main contributions of the thesis titled "Engineering Regulated Open Multiagent Systems". This thesis is focused on the analysis and design of normative open systems using multiagent technology. Specifically this thesis offers: (1) a metamodel that allows especifying all the features of systems of this kind; (2) a methodology that covers the analysis through a detailed development process and specific guidelines that include the identification and formalization of the normative context of the system; (3) a CASE tool that integrates the design of the system with the formal verification of its normative context.
