Application of using SCEP model for distributed scheduling with shared resources in hospital system

Abstract

The increasing intense of the economic constraints forces the manufacturers to share their resources with other organizations [1]. But the management of the available periods of shared resources causes a problem because it is mostly realized in a centralized way [2]. Therefore, distributed scheduling with shared resources is nowadays an important research topic. In this paper, we present a multi-agent model named SCEP (Supervisor, Customer, Environment and Producer). We also introduce the detailed architecture and behavior of the SCEP model in the context of multi-site and shared resources situation. The SCEP application proposed here, aims at improving the scheduling of shared resources in a hospital framework.
