title: Experiences with the development, implementation and evaluation of automated decision support systems.
abstract: A framework for the implementation of guidelines--GASTON--was developed. Its functions range from the definition of guidelines (using a GLIF like approach) to the implementation of a DSS that can be coupled to existing information systems. This paper discusses experiences with the development of three systems in different domains. It is concluded that the toolbox corresponding to the framework could be successfully used to develop these systems.
