In this paper aspects related with the methodological design of a multi-agent system to support both supervision of anesthesiological processes and anesthesiologists decisions are approached. This work describes how it was arrived to a multi-agent architectural design complementing the Gaia methodology with an approach for roles identification. Then, it shows the ActionPlanSupervisor Role development using the Situation Calculus as a basis to model the domain evolution by actions (strategies performed by anesthesiologists). In this model the use of fuzzy relationships to represent preconditions, actions and post-conditions are proposed. The advantage of this representation is based on reaching a better interpretation and more flexibility as regards to the characteristics of each patient and the interaction with the anesthesiologist. In this way, this representation adds clearness to the domain analysis and a familiar language to the application field.
