Ivan Bratko, of the Josef Stefan Institute in Ljubljana, Yugoslavia, has 
recently achieved some remarkable results. 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).
