Abstract

In medicine, a lot of exceptions usually occur. In medical practice and in knowledge-based systems, it is necessary to consider them and to deal with them appropriately. In medical studies and in research, exceptions shall be explained. In this chapter, we present two systems that deal with both sorts of these situations. The first one, called ISOR-1, is a knowledge-based system for therapy support. It does not just compute therapy recommendations, but it especially investigates therapy inefficacy. The second system, ISOR-2, is designed for medical studies or research. It helps to explain cases that contradict a theoretical hypothesis. Both systems are working in close co-operation with the user, who is not just considered as knowledge provider to build the system but is incorporated as additional knowledge source at runtime. Within a dialogue between the doctor and the system solutions respectively explanations are searched.
