Hello from Spain !!!
I've sent several requests to AILIST about uncertainty and medical
diagnosis, and I've received only few answers. Thanks to all anyway.
(Thanks to Robert Hummel, Donald Mitchell, Ben Bloom, Gerald Quirchmayr,
and others who answered me.)
Because we are beginning with Expert Systems Applications at this node,
(we are not restricted to medical applications, it's only one of our
Expert System projects, cause we are in a Data Process & Computer Center)
we're trying to obtain all possible information about it. And now we often
hear things about "Object-oriented programming and languages".
Could anyone illustrate me about the main concepts of object-oriented
techniques, languages, available shells, etc.?
We also hear things about "OO databases". What's the main difference
between "OO-DBs" and "relational-DBs"?
We'd like learn things about this subject, and we'd be grateful
if there is anyone who send us some bibliographic references of OOP and L, and
which are the sources to obtain these references.
By the way, we'd like contact with all users who can help us in OO
subjects. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
Best Wishes from Spain.
