Abstract

One of the most important problems the current society must deal with is the aging of the population, which, along with the increasing engagement of both men and women in work outside their homes, demand new solutions for the care of elderly people. Technology has reached a state where cheap support systems for elderly people staying alone at home can be implemented A possible solution is to allow care and health centers to remotely observe and help old people staying at their homes. In this paper we present an architecture for the support of elderly people in their daily tasks. Such an architecture is based on the Internet as the communication infrastructure and extensively exploits the Multi Agent Systems framework including both stationary and mobile agents.
