Agent-oriented context-aware platforms supporting communities of practice in health care

This paper presents and discusses the use of an agent-oriented context-aware platform to support communities of practice (CoPs) in the health care domain. Our work is based on a scenario where CoPs are applied in a hospital to enhance the knowledge sharing among the staff members who share interests and goals. Here, we test the support of an agent-oriented modeling language (AORML) for the analysis of the proposed application for the test case scenario.
