Abstract
MYCIN is an interactive computer program, relying to a large extent upon artificial intelligence (AI) techniques, which uses decision rules acquired from experts to advise physicians who request advice regarding infectious disease therapy selection. MYCIN provides consultatations in this problem area by means of three inter-related subprograms:
(1) - A Consultation System, which uses information provided by the physician, together with its own rule-based knowledge, to choose an appropriate therapeutic regimen for a patient with a bacterial infection;
(2) - An Explanation System, which understands simple English questions and answers them in order to justify its decisions or instruct the user;
(3) - A Rule-Acquisition System, which accepts new rules from experts and codes them for use during future consultation sessions.
