Abstract
Evaluation should be considered to be a major topic of interest during the design and development of a knowledge based system. A number of evaluation procedures may be distinguished: verification, validation, laboratory evaluation, and field evaluation. The evaluation issues which are discussed have been applied to the formal evaluation of the medical knowledge based system PLEXUS. PLEXUS is designed to assist physicians with the diagnosis and treatment planning of nerve injuries in the neck.
