The reasoning procedures interpret the findings of a particular patient in terrr•s of a causal-associational network (CASNET) rr~el that characterizes the pathophysiological mechanisms and clinical course of treated and untreated diseases. The major new features of this CASNET/glaucoma program are: a) generation of detailed and medically acceptable interpretations from a qualitative model of glaucoma; b) reasoning about detailed follow-up management of a patient; c) incorporation of alternative expert opinions about subjects under debate; and d) its testing and updating by a collaborative computer-based network of glaucoma researchers.","doi":null,"url":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/1977/197","pdf":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/1977/0197.pdf","markdown":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/1977/197.md","bibtex":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/1977/bibtex/197","volume":{"slug":"1977","title":"Proceedings of the Fifth International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence","short_title":"IJCAI 1977","url":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/1977/","year":1977,"location":"Cambridge, MA, USA","dates":"","editors":"Raj Reddy","isbn":"","publisher":"International Joint Conferences on Artificial Intelligence","doi_prefix":""},"section":"Specialized Systems","track":"Specialized Systems","number":197,"pages":{"first":826,"last":831},"keywords":[],"videos":[],"references":[],"license_note":"Copyright International Joint Conferences on Artificial Intelligence."}
