title: Integration of a blood pressure controller and an infusion toolbox system using client-server technology.
abstract: This paper shortly describes an Infusion Toolbox and a blood pressure (BP) control application. It explains how we applied an agent model and client-server technology to integrate them. We show that by using this framework and object oriented technologies the necessary changes to the existing applications are reduced. Many elements of the tested original systems could be re-used, which enhances safe development.
