Abstract
An approach for the coordination of epidemiologic surveillance within local hospitals as well as across multiple hospital sites, which use the Hawkeye knowledge discovery system, is presented. It is proposed that this coordination be supported by agent-based collaboration technology. This framework meets important criteria recommended by ProMED such as a strongly horizontal decentralized structure.
