Abstract :
The Multiagent Systems Group (GruSMA) is part of the Research Group on Artificial Intelligence at Spain´s University Rovira i Virgili. GruSMA specializes in agent technology, working in application areas such as mobile devices, transportation and tourism user services, automated ontology construction, and agent-based simulation of complex systems. Over the past five years, GruSMA has designed and developed many agent applications to address healthcare problems. Some of these systems are academic, proof-of-concept exercises, but they point to the kind of problems in medicine that intelligent agents can help solve in the near term
