title: Design of a Hospital Simulation Software for Nursing Education.
abstract: This work aims to describe the inception and design for a hospital simulator based on data and cases provided by teachers and other randomized data. The main goal is to develop a computer software tool that simulates a hospital as a tool for nursing student. The system is based on a multi-agent model and multi threaded parallel processing. Other parts includes the interfaces for teacher and student, reports and fixed constraints like Laws and other rules. This is a work in progress project and will be released as open source software after the final validation.
