Organizational structure for emergency departments using OMAS

The multi-agent system has good architecture to support complex, autonomic software systems. When multi-agent system works with specific group of agents to achieve individual, aggregate and social goals, it can be viewed as organizational multi-agent system (OMAS). The organizational multi-agent system can be modeled and designed with Agent-Group-Role i.e. AGR model. The AGR model can create organizational structure and describe organizational dynamics. This model also allows remote communication, migration of agents for achieving goals. In this paper, the AGR model is applied to emergency departments of hospital. In this conceptual research, an emergency department is considered as organizational multi-agent system. All actors will be converted into agents and organizational structure can be created. It is proposed that self-management of emergency department of hospital based on AGR model will increase the efficiency of emergency department. Emergency department of healthcare is a complex department where actors of department have to deal with unidentified scenarios in faster way. This paper shows organizational representation of multi-agent system for self-management of emergency department of hospital.
