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.
