In this paper, we propose a novel cooperative heterogeneous medical diagnosis system composed from humans and artificial agents specialized in medical diagnosis and assistant agents. The cooperative problem solving by the proposed diagnosis system combine the human and artificial systems advantages in the medical diagnosis problems solving. 2000 Mathematics Subject Classification: Artificial In...

The paper presents an expert system, SBC-MEDIU, developed` for environmental diagnosis. Two modules of the system are discussed in detail: the module for air pollution analysis and dispersion assessments, SBC-AIR, and the module for soil erosion risk assessments, SBC-SOIL. Both modules provide at the end of the analysis the environmental diagnosis result and the associated allert code. Some exp...

System-level diagnosis appears to be a viable alternative to circuit-level testing in a complex multiprocessor system. System-level diagnosis is also a very useful tool in analyzing system fault detection and location capabilities of a complex multiprocessor system. The conventional t-diagnosability theory characterizes a system to be uniquely diagnosable under the presence of any arbitrary fau...

The development of LSI technology makes it possible to partition a system into replaceable modules, and the advent of low-cost microprocessors makes possible networks of hundreds (or more) of interconnected modules. The problem of repairing such a system is becoming a matter of major importance in digital systems. In this paper a new procedure for defining an optimal design with respect to cost...

Diagnosis is the process of identifying the disorders of a machine or a patient by considering its history, symptoms and other signs. Starting from possible initial information, new information is requested in a sequential manner and the diagnosis is made more precise. It is thus a missing data problem since not everything is known. We model the joint probability distribution of the data from a...

abstract background: obesity represents one of the most important nutritional problems worldwide.obesity in childhood can cause variety of health issues such as orthopedic, neurological, pulmonary and gastroenterological disorders in the future, although no side effects were reported from malignant obesity during childhood. in this paper, we presented a computer-aided diagnosis system to predic...
