Abstract

The increased number of elderly, the prolongation
of life and the urge of costs reduction have changed the way of how the healthcare services are provided. Nowadays, home care service model has rising popularity. Main challenges of this model are the problems of caregivers’ scheduling, their georouting, people management etc. Despite various technological advances, especially in the fields of Internet services, sensors and Internet Of Things, the problem of caregivers’ scheduling is still open and demands for practical
solutions. The process of the scheduling of caregivers to elderly people can be considered as Job Shop Scheduling problem, which is NP-hard for solving. In this paper, we are making analogy of the problem to job shop scheduling problem and we propose agent-bases approach, where corresponding entities are caregivers and elderly people,
and they will be represented as agents. The paper proposes a simulation for the problem based on agents using the Anylogic software.
