The following reference was passed on to me from one of the AILists (I
don't know which one).
%A Klaus-Peter Adlassnig
%T Fuzzy Set Theory in Medical Diagnosis
%J IEEE Transactions on Software Engineering
%D NOV 1985
%V SE-11
%N 11
%P 260-265
%K AA01 AI01 O04
%X They developed systems for diagnosing rheumatologic diseases and
pancreatic
disorders. They achieved 94.5 and 100 percent accuracy, respectively.
I tried looking this up in my collection of IEEE Trans on SE, but it's
not there. Nov 1985 is an issue on AI, but there is no mention of Fuzzy
Set theory. In addition, the Nov 85 issue begins with page 1253. Also,
a perusal of the index of the Transactions for 1985 reveals no author
with the name Klaus-Peter Adlassnig, and only one entry in the subject
index under Fuzzy Sets: "Estimating in correctness of computer program
viewed as set of heirarchically structured fuzzy equivalence classes, by
F.B. Bastani, Sep 85, pp 857-864." Finally, pages 260 - 265 of Vol
SE-11 contain an article by David Parnas, et. al., titled "The Modular
Structure of Complex Systems."
So here we have an example of an incorrect, online, bibliographic
reference. I wonder how many other mistakes are made when this sort of
data is entered. This is progress? ("Our entire card catalog is
online, but we still can't find anything ...." :-)
I wonder if this is in the new IEEE publication on expert systems,
Expert Magazine?
