SHYSTER-MYCIN

SHYSTER-MYCIN is a hybrid legal expert system, combining two other expert systems: SHYSTER (a legal expert system) and MYCIN (a medical expert system). SHYSTER-MYCIN was developed by Tom O'Callaghan as part of his honours research at the Department of Computer Science, Faculty of Engineering and Information Technology at the Australian National University.

Tom's research work on SHYSTER-MYCIN is explained (in reverse chronological order, but in ascending order of detail) in:

a paper by Tom, James Popple and Eric McCreath that Tom presented at the International Conference on Artificial Intelligence and Law (ICAIL-03) in Edinburgh in June 2003 (available as a PDF file: 95K/2 pages; Tom's presentation is available as a PowerPoint file: 1.7M/5 slides);
a technical report by Tom, James and Eric (available as a PDF file: 326K/18 pages); and
Tom's honours thesis (also available as a PDF file: 896K/121 pages).
