WSAgent: um agente baseado em Web Services para promover a interoperabilidade entre sistemas heterogêneos no domínio da saúde

Abstract

After the Internet advent, several strategies about software development were changed

to promote more reuse and interoperability. Design Patterns and Frameworks help us to

create software and design flexible. The idea of glue applications to work together is very

attractive. In the health domains, there are many drawbacks to address its goals. The use of

agent technologies combined with Web Services allow us to think about the construction of a

bind to grant interoperability, reuse and flexibility between heterogeneous environments. This

work describes the architecture of a software agent called WSAgent – an instance of a

Framelet of Patient subdomain in Health domain – and its strategies of collaborations and

interoperability. This work also presents a case study with the implementation of a prototype
