[comp.ai] Rule based antibiotic system sought

cchute@mahlon.MAYO.EDU (Chris Chute) (01/31/89)

A collegue of mine is addressing the clinical and research applications
of antibiotic databases.  He is interested in the present state of the
art (commercial or otherwise) with respect to intelligent, rule based
assistance that these database may bring along in a clinically applied
context.  He is aware of the MYCIN efforts of a decade ago, but wonders
if this or similar products are available for installation at other
sites.   Desirable qualities include an ability to edit the rules
(knowledge aquisition I think you folks call it).  Any pointers or
other educating comments (we're obviously not ai types) would be
greatly appreciated.
