Although several agent-based systems now exist on the network, most are essentially centralized on a single agent. However, the distributed, large-scale, dynamic nature of many problem spaces such as Medical Education calls for open, flexible and scalable solutions. This work proposes and implements a multi-agent based system that teaches a subject of Orthopedics. The proposed solution supports easy upgrade of the system during runtime and easy adaptation of the current system to teach other medical subjects. This paper deals with the chosen agent organization architecture and the inter-agent communication mechanism, which are the keys for the development of a modular, open, and adaptive
solution. }, keywords = {CORBA, Inscrutability, multi - agent communication, multi - agent teams, Organization of agent societies}, attachments = {http://daisy.cti.gr/files/24_On the Implementation of a Multi-Agent System for Computer Based Medical Education.pdf}, author = {Anastasios Triantis and Achilles Kameas and George Nikiforidis} }
