As a case study, we consider the elder medication activity, a recurring, complex and context-rich activity that involves several individual and collective activities which may require assistance. From the data collected in a contextual study of the elder medication, we modeled the medical consultation and refill medicine activities. Our results demonstrate that causal diagrams allow to capture the dynamics of the modelled activity, introduce the assistance of intelligent agents, extract the multiple scenarios synthesized in the activity structure and translate them into Prometheus artifacts.engEmbargoed Accesshttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/ScienceArtículo de conferenciaLecture Notes in Computer Science (including subseries Lecture Notes in Artificial Intelligence and Lecture Notes in Bioinformatics)8265 LNAIPART 1185198México / Mexico
