Abstract


From the public health and clinical point of view, sepsis is an extremely important infectious complication and its pathophysiology mechanisms are not fully elucidated. This article argues that Multiagent Systems are suitable to help elucidate the problem and that it is possible to carry out simulations that can be used in the observation of emergent behaviors, enabling a better understanding of the disease.
