Abstract
Considerable research is being conducted in the area of expert systems for diagnosis. Early work was concentrated in medical diagnostic systems (Clancey and Shortliffe, {21}). MYCIN (Buchanan and Shortliffe, {15}) appears to represent the first medical diagnostic expert system. Current efforts are expanding to the area of equipment maintenance and diagnostics, with numerous systems having been built during the past several years. We concentrate our effort in this survey on expert systems for diagnosis and refer the reader to (Hayes-Roth, Waterman, and Lenat, {42} Hayes-Roth, {43}), (Waterman, {101}), and (Charniak and McDermott, {19}) for introductions to expert systems. We remark that it is common for diagnostic systems to integrate concepts from artificial intelligence (expert systems), decision theory, and operations research.
