In this project we research the problem of patient treatment scheduling in hospitals. Scheduling the complex treatment plans of patients requires coordination between all the different autonomous departments involved. Due to the dynamic nature of a hospital, any approach must be efficient, online, and flexible. In cooperation with medical experts we are investigating the use of autonomous software agents negotiating with each other in order to make (or reschedule) appointments for patient treatment.

Partners in the project are the AMC (Academic Medical Centre, Amsterdam) and Maastricht University.
