title: Agents acting and moving in healthcare scenario--a paradigm for telemedical collaboration.
abstract: This communications describes a novel approach to the analysis and development of telemedicine systems, based on the multiagent paradigm. An agent is an autonomous, social, reactive, and proactive entity, sometimes also mobile. Since telemedicine is grounded on communication and sharing of resources, agents are suitable for its analysis and implementation, and we adopted them for developing a prototype telemedical agent.
