Abstract: Aim of this paper is to present a new architecture which is able to integrate information stored in heterogeneous geographically-distributed information sources. The proposed approach is based on multi-agent system and grid technology to overcome the typical limitations of a n-tiered architecture (often including firewall or similar systems) and the data structure (tables and records). In the case study, the medical doctor will see disparate computing and data resources in a uniform manner, so that these resources can be accessed remotely without a priori knowledge of used data structures and the possible query.
