The multi-agent systems (MAS) paradigm coordinated by self-organisation mechanisms has been used as an effective way for the simulation and modeling of such systems. In this paper, we propose a model for simulating an online health community using a situated multi-agent system approach, governed by the co-evolution of the social and spatial organisations of the agents.}, journal = {International Journal of Computer and Information Engineering}, volume = {1}, number = {6}, year = {2007}, pages = {1606 - 1611}, ee = {https://publications.waset.org/pdf/8245}, url = {https://publications.waset.org/vol/6}, bibsource = {https://publications.waset.org/}, issn = {eISSN: 1307-6892}, publisher = {World Academy of Science, Engineering and Technology}, index = {Open Science Index 6, 2007}, }
