This report is based on the notion that criteria for "successful" diagnosis differ for different medical specialties. Diagnostic judgement in highly unstructured task domains is best characterized as clinical problem formulation with pragmatic implications for interventions. This concept is illustra

β¦ Synopsis
The complexity of the FASTBUS network at CDF makes access to expert assistance a necessity for efficient operation. A software Expert System has been proposed to diagnose FASTBUS errors and advise users on recovery options in the interactive DAQ environment. This paper introduces some basic features of rule-based programming and uses examples to describe how expert systems function. A prototype system, FBEXPERT, has been developed using a language called OPS5 and applied to the diagnosis of a network problem. This paper includes an example which shows how the system updates its knowledge base as it proceeds to the correct solution.

We constructed an expert system on the diagnosis of ascites, using a combination of case reports and unpublished patient data. Rule production was by induction from examples, and the program operated on an algorithm which was a modification of Quinlan's ID3. The result was a small, but formally comp
