sialography is the retrograde injection of an iodinated contrast agent into the ductal system of salivary glands and this technique is the only method capable of adequately demonstrating the status of the ductal system. one of the indications of sialography is classification of the salivary ductal system fistulae. this classification has important prognostic and therapeutic values. in the prese...

aphasia diagnosis is a challenging medical diagnostic task due to the linguistic uncertainty and vagueness, large number of measurements with imprecision, inconsistencies in the definition of aphasic syndromes, natural diversity and subjectivity in test objects as well as in options of experts who diagnose the disease. in this paper we present a new self-organized multi agent system that diagno...

This paper deals with the problem of distributed causal model-based diagnosis on interacting Behavioral Petri Nets (BPNs). The system to be diagnosed comprises different interacting subsystems (each modeled as a BPN) and the diagnostic system is defined as a multi-agent system where each agent is designed to diagnose a particular subsystem on the basis of its local model, the local received obs...
