We are building an agent-oriented system to aid elderly people to live longer
in their homes, increasing the duration of their independence from
round-the-clock care while maintaining important social connectedness and
reducing caregiver burden. Independent LifeStyle Assistant (TM) (I.L.S.A.) is a
multiagent system that incorporates a unified sensing model, probabilistically
derived situation awareness, hierarchical task network response planning,
real-time action selection control, complex coordination, and machine learning.
This paper describes I.L.S.A's agents and present a scenario of the
information flow.
