Self-* e-nursing: a new idea in nursing

Published: 27 March 2010 Publication History

Abstract

The rapid advances in Information and Communication Tech-nology (ICT), management, and network technologies have had key role in emerging heterogeneous large-scale distributed sys-tems. The term of E-nursing has been used to refer to the incorpo-ration of ICT into nursing. An Autonomous system has as its vision the creation of self managing systems to address today's concerns of complexity and total cost of ownership while meeting to-morrow's needs for pervasive and ubiquitous computation and communication. Purpose of this paper is to present an autonomous virtual organization for e-nursing describing their characteristics, effects on quality factors, their building blocks architecture, and challenges
