title: Data driven medical decision support based on Arden Syntax within the HELIOS environment.
abstract: Methods and tools for development of data driven decision support systems (DSSs) is an integral part of the HELIOS software engineering environment. The DSS development environment includes tools for knowledge acquisition and knowledge base construction, provides trigger mechanisms for evocation of the knowledge base and an inference engine for execution control of appropriate parts of the knowledge base during run-time. The tools are part of the HELIOS service components and are integrated within the HELIOS communication framework. The work is based on the Arden Syntax, a standard for knowledge representation, allowing medical logic modules (MLMs) to be shared and transferred between institutions.
