Abstract

During medical practice, doctors use different aspects of reasoning for diagnosis and treatment. There is a particular process when several doctors are involved in taking a medical decision. In this paper we present an overview of different constraints in the process of conventional decision making and collaborative medical reasoning. General notions for an assisted decision cooperation system are introduced, bearing in mind general medical practices; without neglecting the physician´s role.
