treatment protocols. Development consisted of database application
development and prototyping the expert shell. The application
development included the logical and physical design of the ORACLE
patient database; the creation of the user interface providing access
to the database for updates queries and statistical functions and
invocation of the "expert advisor". The knowledge base was derived by
interrogation of the database for histological and other pertinent
information. The causal strengths of various factors considered by the
advisor were stored in a fuzzy associative memory. As part of the
development, performed query optimization and index clustering. Wrote
triggers and user-exits within the form to manage the DBA tasks of
establishing user ids, selectively restricting access to specific
screens and monitoring user activities. The application was written in
