Abstract:
In this paper the discussion focuses on a decision support system to be used as a tool in the treatment of poisoning cases attributable to mushrooms, plants and animals. In this first release, attention is focused on the risks related to fungi. Problems involved with mushroom poisoning and identification are analyzed to highlight which elements or characters must be taken into account in devising a computerized expert system. The components of such a system are presented, the different approaches are discussed and the choices made are motivated. Some preliminary results are also presented.
