This paper describes recent work on an ongoing project in medical diagnosis at the University of Guelph. A domain on which experts are not very good at pinpointing a single disease outcome is explored. On-line medical data is available over a relatively short period of time. Belief Functions (Dempster-Shafer theory) are first extracted from data and then modified with expert opinions. Several methods for doing this are compared and results show that one formulation statistically outperforms the others, including a method suggested by Shafer. Expert opinions and statistically derived information about dependencies among symptoms are also compared. The benefits of using uncertainty management techniques as methods for knowledge acquisition from data are discussed.
Data Acquisition and Database Management System for Samsung Superconductor Test Facility
为了满足韩国超导托卡马克先进研究院（KSTAR）超导磁体系统的测试要求，在三星技术高等研究院（Samsung Advanced Institute of Technology）建造了一个大型超导磁体和导体测试设施--三星超导体测试设施（SSTF）。SSTF DAC（数据采集与控制）计算机系统基于UNIX操作系统，VME系统的实时操作系统采用UNIX Works。实验物理与工业控制系统EPICS（Experimental Physics and Industrial Control System）用于IOC服务器和客户端之间的通信。为了有效地管理测量数据，开发了一个数据库程序，数据库服务器使用了一个配有PENTIUM-4 CPU的Linux工作站。本文介绍了SSTF DAC系统的现状、数据库管理系统和最近的试验结果。
