Introduction

This project, using the definition of a MAS, refers to an hypothetical situation in which a sick patient is stuck in the bed of his/her room for some illness. This patient need to be cured ingesting some medicines, like syrup, antibiotic or pills. For this reason, he/she needs help from some robot nurse agents to complete this process. He/She could has also the need to call the 911 emergency number if his/her health should suddenly worsen, asking to the appropriate SOS agent to call the specific telephone number, thanks to a phone situated inside the room. Since the medicines inside the cabinet sooner or later could finish, another agent is responsible to order and refill the cabinet with the new delivered medicinal. At the same time the patient has to pay the ambulance that performs the deliver service. The sick person is able to make the payment thanks to the help of a payment manager agent. All these processes are implemented following the syntax, based on the BNF form (Backus-Naur form), of an AgentSpeak(L) language called Jason, a Java-based interpreter for an extended version of AgentSpeak.
