Abstract

The process of scientific research in medicine is a complex matter. This process consists, among others, of the design of a study, and data management during the study. Computers have turned out to be useful tools to support parts of this research process. URIS is an example of a tool for computerized data management. This paper describes a knowledge based system that supports all aspects of the design process of new clinical trials and their corresponding protocols. The system should also be able to support parts of this process. The development and design of a system called PROSYS (PROtocol design SYStem) are described
