title: Advanced treatment of temporal phenomena in clinical guidelines.
abstract: Temporal constraints play a fundamental role in clinical guidelines. We sketch a computer-based temporal framework to represent temporal information in the guidelines, and to support different forms of inference and query-answering (which, e.g., might help in physician decision making).
