Abstract: This plenary talk will provide an outline on our experience to build a virtual doctor system based on semantic case based reasoning (CBR) framework. Patients and users are categorized based on mental ontology framework and mental ontology framework. These two frame works are represented in OWL, (Ontology Web Language) for reasoning purpose. The CBR are categorized based on these ontologies. The reasoning has used Bayesian network based on collected relative decisions related to CBRs instantiated in relations to the observed parameters reflected on alignment of physical ontology and mental ontology. The resulted alignment namely the medical ontology represents a semantic CBR reflecting the patient symptoms. This talk gives an overview of these techniques and how to deploy them to build a prototype that can be used in local regional medical hospital in Japan.

On 1997 he moved back to Japan to become an executive committee member to establish Iwate Prefectural University on 1997. Then after from April 1998, he joined Iwate Prefectural University (IPU), Faculty of Software and Information Science, as Professor and head of Information System, directing at IPU two laboratories, Intelligent Software System Laboratory and Cognitive Systems Laboratory. He was a committee of establishing the Graduate School of Software Science, of IPU from 2000 for new Master and Doctor Programs that used Software practices Approach (SPA) concept as it main educational system in education. He has directed and led many project sponsored by the Ministry of Science, Education and Culture of Japan, and others from International sponsors and industry sponsors project on new software methodologies and intelligent systems. He contributed in software related inventions and got several international industrial Patents on new software methods on tableau related development.

He has been invited to many universities in EU, and North America. He has supervised Ph.D students jointly with University of Laval, (Canada) University Technology, Sydney (UTS) Australia, He is also Professor at the University of Laval, Quebec, Canada supervising Graduate Studies students, he was a visiting Professor at the University of Paris_1, Sorbonne, 2003~2004. He worked as opponent for Ph.D student examination at Stockholm University, Sweden. He edited several special issues in International Journals on many hot issues in related to Knowledge based system and software technologies. He is currently heading a project on Intelligent HCI, and a project related to Mental Cloning as an intelligent user interface between human user and computers, supported by MEXT (Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology), and SCOPE project on Virtual Doctor Systems, supported by Ministry of Internal Affairs, and Communications of Japan. He also, has several joint industrial projects with Japanese industry.
