We describe an approach for developing knowledge-based medical decision support systems based on the new technology of case-based reasoning. This work is based on the results of the Inreca European project and preliminary results from the Inreca + project which mainly deals with medical applications. One goal was to start from case-based reasoning technology for technical diagnosis and 'scale-u...

Forest planning is a complex endeavor when political agendas, public demands, industry needs, and sustainability issues are thrown into the mix. Spatial decision support systems (SDSS) have evolved to address this complex planning situation. Considerable work on SDSS development has emanated from the field of forestry. This article reviews SDSS development and use in forest resource management....

introduction: users of hospital information system know its problems better than others. studying their views are very important and can be especially effective in the development of the information system. the aim of this study was to investigate the users' views towards the quality of hospital information system in the training hospitals of mashhad university of medical sciences. methods: the...

Medical decision-support systems in which uncertainty plays an essential role are increasingly based on the formalism of probabilistic networks. Although this formalism is very powerful, the construction of actual networks is not straightforward, and requires the availability of clearly structured medical domain models as a starting point. In this paper it is argued that medical pathophysiologi...

The process of transforming data or observations into a coherent, meaningful framework generates information, that is something which can be utilised by the recipient. The technology by which such a transformation is achieved is information technology and in an agricultural context this can be traced back at least as far as Fisher at the beginning of the 1900s. The utilisation of Information Te...
