Abstract :
Medical information systems evolve constantly. We know that medical information systems need to be highly interoperable and effectively manage complex information of great sensitivity. This paper shows a coherent architectural framework that allows the development of interoperable medical information systems even when these systems evolve. This architecture is based on agent, ontology and Peer to Peer technologies. The proposed architecture is meant to include all concepts necessary to perform the activities related to medical information system. This work indicates how to reach the organizational interoperability.
