A dosimetrist who is designing a radiotherapy plan for a cancer patient refers to a therapy atlas of past patients for plan suggestions. These are examples of Case-Based Reasoning (CBR), a form of problem solving in which the problem solver reuses a past case to solve a new problem. CBR is both a model of human cognition and a paradigm for computer- based problem solvers. The CBR-MED mailing list provides a forum for the discussion of CBR methods in Medicine. The list brings together medical practitioners, health informaticians, and CBR researchers in service of two goals: 1) To support the delivery of medical care by fostering the development of CBR software that performs health care related tasks. 2) To spur the development of CBR methods by focusing the efforts of researchers on the challenges (large databases, knowledge representation problems, etc.) provided by medical and health informatics problems. -----------------------------###--------------------------------- To subscribe to CBR-MED, send a message that looks like this: To: listproc@cs.uchicago.edu Subject: subscribe CBR-MED If your name is Joan Smith, your subscription request would look like this: To: listproc@cs.uchicago.edu Subject: subscribe CBR-MED Joan Smith To unsubscribe to CBR-MED, send a message that looks like this: To: listproc@cs.uchicago.edu Subject: unsubscribe CBR-MED Please let me know if you have any problems with the list.
