Operational Wellness Model: A Wellness Model Designed for an Agent-Based Wellness Visualization System

The operational wellness model is needed to determine a common reference enabling the evaluation of the visualization system. Existing definitions of wellness and wellness evaluation models have limitations and cannot be realized in software. The proposed model comprises the operational definition of wellness and the operational wellness evaluation model. The results generated by the operational wellness model will be used in the wellness visualization system. The model presents numerous advantages: it is extensible, computable, and can be rendered by a computer program.

The system employs a number of agents capable of autonomy, mobility, scalability, collaboration and platform independence. In the system, agents are classified into two groups: requesters and music service team. Requesters work on behalf of their users, and bring music suggestions from the users to a DJ agent (DJ) which is part of the service team. The DJ has a reasoning component responsible for music selection and negotiation. Music selection is the result of negotiation among agents in sealed-bid auctions. The bidding strategy is specified by users. The amount of a bid implies the value of a song for a specific user; the DJ will evaluate this amount to determine the winner of the auction, whose song will be placed on the playlist. All agents interact with each other using an interaction/negotiation protocol, through agent messaging. A proof of concept implementation of this architecture shows that agents in the A-DJ system automatically perform tasks and collaborate with each other under the proposed protocol. The implementation appears to be scalable up to approximately 800 customers on a generalpurpose computer system.

Relative issues and considerations, e.g., selecting a testing location, suggested list of equipments and survey tools, and privacy issues, are also discussed.

The methodology is applied to our research on an agent-based wellness visualization system to create a framework for testing the wellness visualization systems we created in our research. The proposed framework employs both technical-oriented and user-oriented testing tools and methods in the measurement. A comprehensive testing plan is also provided.

Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) systems are established as means to exercise supervisory control over an industrial process. Software Agent technology can improve SCADA systems as it allows distribution, which inherently promotes redundancy, and modularity, which promotes versatility.

This is now attained through fixed real estate renderings. We propose an expert system that can support dynamic interface adaptation.
