From the article: Abstract—By using agent technology, a versatile and modular
monitoring system can be built. In this paper, such a multiagentbased
monitoring system will be described. The system can be
trained to detect several conditions in combination and react
accordingly. Because of the distributed nature of the system, the
concept can be used in many situations, especially when combinations
of different sensor inputs are used. Another advantage
of the approach presented in this paper is the fact that every
monitoring system can be adapted to specific situations. As a
case-study, a health monitoring system will be presented.
