Episodic Monitoring of Time-Oriented Data for Heuristic SkeletalPlan Refinement (1989)
Samson W. Tu, Michael G. Kahn, Mark A. Musen, Jay C. Ferguson, Edward H. Shortliffe, Lawrence M. Fagan
ONCOCIN is a medical expert system that extends the skeletal-planning technique to an application area where the history of past events and the duration of actions are important. The system's...
Visualizing Operations on Temporal Data (1989)
Steve B. Cousins, Michael G. Kahn
this paper, we focus on the interaction component of the visualization task by formalizing the operations that can occur in the interactive display of temporal data. Our formalization is based on the...

Automated Interpretation of Diabetes Patient Data: Detecting Temporal Changes in Insulin Therapy
Kahn, Michael G., Abrams, Charlene A., Cousins, Steve B., Beard, James C., Frisse, Mark E.
We are developing an expert system to interpret self-recorded, time-ordered diabetes patient data. One essential task in this program is the detection of significant changes in insulin therapy. This...
A Yeast Artificial Chromosome Library Database: Design Considerations
Frisse, Mark E., Ge, NengJie, Langenbacher, JulieM., Kahn, Michael G., Brownstein, Bernard H.
This paper first describes a simple collection of HyperCard stacks created and used by genetics researchers to catalog information in a human yeast artificial chromosome (YAC) library. Although an...
The Display and Manipulation of Temporal Information
Cousins, Steve B., Kahn, Michael G., Frisse, Mark E.
Because medical data have complex temporal features, special techniques are required for storing, retrieving, and displaying clinical data from electronic databases. One significant problem caused by...
Model-Based Interpretation of Time-Varying Medical Data
Kahn, Michael G., Fagan, Lawrence M., Sheiner, Lewis B.
Temporal concepts are critical in medical therapy-planning. If given early enough, specific therapeutic choices may abort or suppress evolving undesired changes in a patient's clinical status....
Representation and Use of Temporal Information in ONCOCIN
Kahn, Michael G., Ferguson, Jay C., Shortliffe, Edward H., Fagan, Lawrence M.
The past medical history of a patient is a complex collection of events yet the understanding of these past events is critical for effective medical diagnostic and therapeutic decisions. Although...
