From: Juanita Mullen <MULLEN@SUMEX-AIM.ARPA> [Forwarded from the Stanford SIGLUNCH distribution by Laws@SRI-AI.] RIPLUNCH SPEAKER: Larry Fagan, Joan Differding, and Mark Musen Medical Computer Science Group TOPIC OPAL: Practical Knowledge Acquisition for ONCOCIN DATE: Friday, August 24, 1984 LOCATION: Chemistry Gazebo, between Physical & Organic Chemistry TIME: 12:05 We will discuss our design of the ONCOCIN knowledge acquisition framework named OPAL. ONCOCIN is designed to assist physicians with the management of cancer treatment plans. A number of these treatment plans, called protocols, have been entered into the ONCOCIN system using low level tools. We have recently built a protocol oriented knowledge acquisition system designed directly for the cancer specialist (oncologist). The OPAL knowledge acquisition subsystem is graphically based and represents our analysis of the common components of cancer treatment plans.
