“Multi-agent” approach in endoscopic images diagnosis aid

Representative of distributed AI, the multi-agent paradigm is of great interest in modeling complex applications: it amounts to a cutting out in autonomous tasks, delegated to entities specialized in an under-field of the system, namely the agents. The difficulty arises in the articulation of these various tasks, i.e. cooperation between agents and management of possible conflicts, in short, the organization and control of the application functioning. On the basis of this general principle, an examination is made of an endoscopic diagnosis aid system with case-based reasoning, integrated in a multi-agent-type architecture worked out in accordance with the “blackboard” model
