An Implementation of a Symbiotic Ecology with Self*-Properties in an eHealth Scenario

This paper presents an implementation of a symbiotic ecology with self*-properties in an eHealth scenario. In addition, presents the architecture of a swarm which consists of a small number of artefacts that operate in the symbiotic ecology. The aim of this work is to study the emergence of self*-properties and particularly the influence of the environment on the timely achievement of the objectives of the swarm. A series of experiments are presented, focusing at the observation of self*-properties and the response times of the swarm. All experiments are performed with the use of a simulator.
