Multidimensional Adaptiveness in Multi-Agent Systems

Abstract—The work presented in this paper is focused on the design and the implementation of an adaptive framework for ambient assisted living applications. The challenge is to design an approach to deal with a dynamic environment in order to provide an adequate service to an elderly or a sick person at home. It is necessary to take into account constraints such as, the degree of urgency of the service and the degree of intrusion of the system. The evolution of the degree of intrusion based on the degree of urgency and the availability of the different communication devices that constitute the ambient environment are particularly targeted. Through an adaptive approach based on coalitions of agents, our multi-agents system ensures answers to various and/or unforeseen situations. Our coalitions protocol formation has been implemented in a real scenario. A more sophisticated version of our system has been designed allowing an intelligen
