Aims and Scope
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Autonomous Agents and Multi-Agent Systems Applied in Health Care Special Issue intends to provide a discussion forum on the most recent and innovative work regarding the study and application of agent-based technology to convincing healthcare scenarios. A healthcare facility faces diverse and complex everyday challenges, ranging from equipment and drug inventory management to patient clinical record and follow-up management, or even patient monitoring in either a hospital or home environment, and patient transportation scheduling. At the same time, the progressive maturity of agent technology methodologies and tools has led to the development of applications in many complex real-world domains. Covering a wide spectrum of research areas, this special issue intends to bring together communities from Computer Science and Clinicians working on Healthcare, Medicine and Biomedicine, providing a presentation and discussion forum for researchers in the area, highlighting innovative and convincing health- care applications of the agent-based systems and defining future research directions.
