When making clinical decisions, physicians often consult biomedical literatures for reference. In this case, an effective clinical decision support system, provided with a patient’s health information, should be able to generate accurate queries and return to the physicians with useful articles. Related works in the Clinical Decision Support (CDS) track of TREC 2015 demonstrated the usefulness ...

In this paper, a proposed Group Decision Support Systems model based on Rough Set is presented. The model improves decision making process by using rough set as a tool for knowledge discovery on decision support system, where the same feature may evaluate by one decision maker as good and by another one as medium, in this case inconsistent will appear in decision problem. To cope with this prob...
