Tenth Annual Workshop on Artificial Medicine: An Overview Intelligence in

We thank Kaz Kulikowski and Priscilla Rasmussen of Rutgers Universitv for their areat helD in organization of the Workshop One of the particularly sat,isfying aspects of this Workshop was the attendance by a large number of graduate students and medical fellows active in AIM research; this was made possible by a generous grant, from AAAI Chris Putnam and OS17 AI graduate students worked very hard in t,aking care of a number of details. A nurnber of systems for medical decision making, experimenting with new ideas for knowledge organization and problem solving, have been built there. The College of Medicine has just started a center for research in knowledge-based systems in medicine. Thus, after a number of years when the Workshop had been hosted by the AIM groups of MIT, TJniversity of Pittsburgh, Rutgers, and Stanford, sometimes in conjunction with major AI and medical computiug conferences, holding the Workshop at Ohio State University was an indication of a broader base for research activities in AIM. This report gives an overview of the Workshop discussions, without any claim of being complete or even representative-a report, of this kind can only be an impressionistic account.
