Abstract
The architecture of an anthropocentric Biomedical Information Manageme nt System is proposed. The system is based on a network of computation al components (agents) that users-experts in the biomedical domain, bu t not in computer science-can define, use, and refine to serve their o wn communication and documentation habits and needs. The innovation of the proposal lies in the adoption of the Participatory Design methodo logy, which involves users in the design of tools and their implementa tion, organization and integration to perform the required biomedical activities.
