With the aid of computer simulation he has built an expert system capable of diagnosing multiple simultaneous heart malfunction causes from ECG outputs. This was a significant contribution to medical science, since for the class of failures he treated, there was no known method of diagnosing anything more complicated than a single cause. His work will be printed as a monograph from the newly-formed "International School for the Synthesis of Expert Knowledge" (ISSEK), which will have its first meeting this summer. ISSEK is an affiliation of computer science labs dedicated to the automatic generation of new knowledge of super-human quality. (Membership of ISSEK is by invitation only).
