Abstract
-
The content of this dissertation is the research and design of the intelligent network-based systems for a specific class of medical and health care applications. The knowledge module of intelligent systems has been introduced and designed according to the specific needs of medical systems. All basic elements of the knowledge module were divided into two major categories: service functional blocks and application functional blocks. The functions of the existing major components of telecommunication networks: communication, switching and administrative modules have been reviewed in light of the utilization of the knowledge module. Based on a developed scenario of a request resolution by an intelligent network, a general object-oriented model of intelligent telecommunication system has been elaborated. This, in turn, led to building of the detailed architecture of an intelligent network and its knowledge module in particular. As the result of the analysis and classification of information requests in the telecommunication network for medical services, algorithms for service functional blocks were designed, particularly a recursive algorithm of request processing and information retrieval in the network.;The design of application functional blocks of the knowledge module is based on complete object-oriented analysis of a medical care system. This analysis includes the identification and formal description of all potential members of the medical network and medical knowledge as objects of integrated medical systems. The object model comprises description of an object's hierarchy, attributes, operations, processes and information flows for all defined objects, as well as object, functional, and dynamic models. Design issues for database and functional modules software have also been analyzed.;Finally, the Data-Mail Electronic Consultation System at the Mount Sinai Medical Center is discussed. This system was developed in accordance with the general architecture of an intelligent medical network and is utilizing the object model of a medical care system. The system software modules and database are presented as an example of a working intelligent medical telecommunication system.
