The re-use of abstract models of problem solving is a major step towards cost-effective and quality-assured knowledge-based system development. The techniques are discussed in this text.
This collection represents the primary reference work for researchers and students in the area of Temporal Reasoning in Artificial Intelligence. Temporal reasoning has a vital role to play in many areas, particularly Artificial Intelligence. Yet, until now, there has been no single volume collecting together the breadth of work in this area. This collection brings together the leading researchers in a range of relevant areas and provides an coherent description of the breadth of activity concerning temporal reasoning in the filed of Artificial Intelligence.Key Features:- Broad range: foundations; techniques and applications- Leading researchers around the world have written the chapters- Covers many vital applications- Source book for Artificial Intelligence, temporal reasoning- Approaches provide foundation for many future software systems· Broad range: foundations; techniques and applications· Leading researchers around the world have written the chapters· Covers many vital applications· Source book for Artificial Intelligence, temporal reasoning· Approaches provide foundation for many future software systems
Temporal Information Systems in Medicine introduces the engineering of information systems for medically-related problems and applications. The chapters are organized into four parts; fundamentals, temporal reasoning & maintenance in medicine, time in clinical tasks, and the display of time-oriented clinical information. The chapters are self-contained with pointers to other relevant chapters or sections in this book when necessary. Time is of central importance and is a key component of the engineering process for information systems. This book is designed as a secondary text or reference book for upper -undergraduate level students and graduate level students concentrating on computer science, biomedicine and engineering. Industry professionals and researchers working in health care management, information systems in medicine, medical informatics, database management and AI will also find this book a valuable asset.
This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed papers from the BPM 2013 Joint Workshop on Process-Oriented Information Systems and Knowledge Representation in Health Care, KR4HC 2013/ProHealth 2013, held in Murcia, Spain, in June 2013. The 10 revised full papers presented together with 1 keynote paper were carefully reviewed and selected from 19 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on semantic interoperability in health care; modeling clinical guidelines; knowledge-based techniques for handling clinical data; and context aware services and guidance.
This volume addresses topics including: temporal reasoning in plan management; accounting for temporal evolutions in highly reactive decision-making; modelling problems; qualitative temporal reasoning; and quantitative structural temporal constraints on repeating events.
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 9th Conference on Artificial Intelligence in Medicine in Europe, AIME 2003, held in Protaras, Cyprus, in October 2003. The 24 revised full papers and 26 revised short papers presented together with two invited contributions were carefully reviewed and selected from 65 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on temporal reasoning, ontology and terminology, image processing and simulation, guidelines and clinical protocols, terminology and natural language issues, machine learning, probabilistic networks and Bayesian models, case-based reasoning and decision support, and data mining and knowledge discovery.
