Abstract:

Terap-IA is a knowledge-based system for the treatment of community-acquired pneumonia in adults. In this paper we concentrate on its description and implementation. The implementation has been made using Milord II, a modular language for knowledge-based systems. We will stress the uncertainty modelling of the domain, with special emphasis on the Milord II capabilities for that purpose.
