GUIDON

GUIDON  is an intelligent system in the area of medicine. The system is an adaption of MYCIN, which offers the student a tutor for medical diagnosis. GUIDON provides the student a medical case to solve and checks the student's understanding using the original diagnostic rules used in MYCIN. The student asks questions to gather important data and proposes hypotheses. The system then compare the student's behavior to the expert behavior as modeled within MYCIN'rule. It also intervenes when the student requests help or when the student runs into trouble. Although GUIDON was successful in many respects, it also revealed that the diagnostic strategies and some of the medical knowledge that were contained implicitly in the MYCIN rules had to be made explicit in order for students to understand and remember them easily. As a result, a new expert system, NEOMYCIN, has been developed. The system is rule based and is implemented in LISP.(1977-1981)
