eng Abstract:
Process modelling has proven itself as a useful technique for capturing the work practice in companies. In this paper, we focus on its usage in the domain of medical care.We analyze the problem of the simulation of processes and present an approach based on agent-based simulations. We formally define an enhanced process language, the algorithm transforming these enhanced processes into the definition of agents’ behavior, and the architecture of the target multi-agent system simulating the modeled processes in some environment. The example of usage is given in the form of a critiquing expert system proposal that uses formalized medical guidelines as the knowledge base.
