Rapid prototyping in graphic interface development for medical expert systems

The versatility of a medical information system for its adaptation to different clinical environments can be improved if the principles of design of expert systems are applied to the development and implementation of user interfaces. Using design criteria such as modularity, independence or declarative representation, we have developed an interaction management system MAGIT which permits the rapid prototyping of graphic interfaces in medical applications. In this work we give a general vision of the method for the representation and control of the interaction implemented in the MAGIT system.
