....other agents implementing other actors of the same community. 7 A Case Study We show a practical application of the architectural guidelines given above to a DKM problem, taken from the Health Care (HC) domain. Health care is interesting both from a multi agent perspective as pointed out in [14, 17], where an approach is proposed to construct an information system centered on the individual user (customer patient) instead of on the providers of information and services and also from a knowledge management perspective [13] Our scenario consists of the hospital wards involved in a ....

We may also assume that a computer system can process a grammar and keep a dictionary 1 For some reasons, research in NLG has seen a proliferation of systems on medical or epidemiological domains [4, 5, 6, 12, 25, 31, 32]. 1 of terms, and we may leave aside problems related to the choice of words (should I call it disease , illness , pathology or what ) and or of grammatical constructs (should I use passive or active form ) despite they undoubtly give rise to an important series of pragmatic problems.

....and in the potential increase of the costs of the therapy, due to the continuous assistance required. These two negative features could be avoided by exploiting current advances of information technologies, particularly telecommunications networks and knowledge based systems. Like other authors [2, 3], we believe that effectiveness and safety of idt could be increased if the rate of information transmission between patients and clinicians were increased; moreover, we believe that patients should be involved in their own therapy management, through a careful home assistance provided by a ....

....the program critiques the physician s plan rather than recommending a complete one of its own [13] All these systems were built for the convenience of health care providers and ignore the needs and the demands of the patients. Currently, few approaches concentrate on individual patients needs [14] or on improving the information exchange between health care providers and patients [15] CONCLUSION We have demonstrated a prototype of patient centered intelligent assistant called Patient Advocate , which helps patients to get a clearer insight into their health conditions and to cope ....

This project, called Guardian Angel, was begun with DARPA support [22]. Experience from these efforts motivates and contributes to the design of the present proposal, and advances in the ability to support monitoring and analysis tasks will greatly contribute to the future of these projects as well as to applications in the challenge domains.

....history from fragments stored at different hospitals, health centers, doctors offices, etc. A related project [51] uses similar mechanisms to distribute real time data via W3, to allow remote monitoring of patients in intensive care from any authorized remote site. Our Guardian Angel project [48] is developing personal health information systems that help patients at home manage significant aspects of their own health care, maintain records on their condition, treatments and responses, communicate with health care providers, and access educational resources that help them understand their ....
