    ABSTRACT:: Distributed artificial intelligence (DAI) refers to systems
               in which decentralized, cooperative agents work
               synergistically to perform a task. Altemative specifications
               of DAI resemble particular biological or social systems, such
               as teams, contract nets, or societies. Our DAI model
               resembles a single individual comprising multiple loosely
               coupled agents for perception, action, and cognition
               functions. We demonstrate the DAI individual in the Guardian
               system for intensive-care monitoring and argue that it is
               more appropriate than the prevalent team model for a large
               class of similar applications.
