Adaptive Knowledge Discovery for Decision Support in Intensive Care Units

Clinical Decision Support Systems (CDSS) are becoming commonplace. They are used to alert doctors about drug interactions, to suggest possible diagnostics and in several other clinical situations. One of the approaches to building CDSS is by using techniques from the Knowledge Discovery from Databases (KDD) area. However using KDD for the construction of the knowledge base used in such systems,...

Promoting Agent-Based Knowledge Discovery in Medical Intensive Care Units

Decision support has become vital in major scientific and organisational areas. Data analysis and knowledge acquisition are no longer means to an end, they have become the end itself. Knowledge discovery is a priority, constantly demanding for new, better suited efforts. Systems or tools capable of dealing with the steadily growing amount of data presented by information systems and digging thr...
