title: The expert system language GALEN.
abstract: GALEN is an expert system language based upon nonmonotonic logic and sorted higher-order quantificational logic. It is designed to permit the composition of expert systems for computerized electrocardiographic diagnosis. Using GALEN, a cardiologist will be able to supplement or replace the commercially available computer-assisted ECG diagnostic systems with diagnostic criteria of his or her own for research and clinical uses.
