Real-time Critiquing of Integrated Diagnosis/Therapy Plans

In the past, little attention has been paid to critiquing in domains in which reasoning, planning and action are interleaved, or in which actions can change the agent's knowledge in ways that aaect subsequent reasoning and planning. This paper discusses the demands these characteristics make on a critiquing system. The goal-directed approach to critiquing that I am developing interacts with a planner both to infer the user's goals and to determine the system's preferences. The model is able to detect interacting goals and comment when two goals may be addressed with a single action. It also detects when unpredictable outcomes may aaect actions that have been planned for. The model is being implemented as an interface to TraumAID, a decision support system for the management of severe injuries.
