2Previous current work of the group
- Starting from 1997, GLARE project, with Az.
Ospedaliera S. Giovanni Battista in Turin - GLARE (Guideline Acquisition, Representation,
Execution) - domain-independent (e.g. bladder cancer, ischemic
stroke) - physician-oriented formalism
- Advanced AI techiques
- (only prototypes)
3Previous current work of the group
- TEMPORAL CONSTRAINTS (IN CLINICAL GUIDELINES)
- Representation formalisms
- Constraint propagation algorithms (e.g., to check
consistency) - Computational complexity vs expressiveness
trade-off - Methodology a domain-independent module coping
with time, to be loosely coupled with different
systems
GL System_n
GL System_1
Temporal Module
4Previous current work of the group
- (2) VERIFICATION OF CLINICAL GUIDELINES THROUGH
MODEL-CHECKING - Goal a general-purpose approach to verify
(any!?) property about any guideline in GLARE - Which properties? (consistency, reachability of
actions,) - Methodology pairing GLARE with a model-checker

5Previous current work of the group
- (3) RESOURCE-BASED CONTEXTUALIZATION OF CLINICAL
GUIDELINES - Each GL action must specify required resources
(instruments) - Each specific hospital has a set of available
resources - Pruning away (paths of) actions which are not
locally executable (due to lack of resources)

Temporal Databases - Ontology modeling time and causation

about languages representing guidelines (with
specific attention to the treatment of temporal
aspects)

- (b) Languages for clinical guidelines (with
specific reference to temporal constraints). - (c) An upper-level for the ontology of clinical
actions (IF ANY!?) - (d) Modelling the semantics of clinical
guidelines (mapping into model-checkers
languages also temporal logics). - Semantics of Relational Temporal Databases (IF
USED!?)

and propagate temporal constraints in clinical
guidelines - Prototypical tool for validation based on
model-checking techniques (IF VALIDATION INCLUDED

on the basis of locally available resources. -
